Full description
BreakFinder is a surf tracker for your Wear OS watch and a surf log, forecast and spot map on your phone. The watch counts every wave, keeps an eye on your position in the lineup and taps your wrist when it matters. ★ ON YOUR WEAR OS WATCH • App screens: home with today's surf score, the live session screen with touch lock, the wave flash, peak and way-back compass, session summary, history and stats, surf forecast, and settings for the live screen and alerts. • Tile: your home spot's surf score, tide curve, swell and wind, with a button that starts a session. • Complications for any watch face: Forecast, Forecast Card, Conditions, Tide, Tide Curve, Wave Count and Last Session. • During a session, an ongoing activity keeps the wave count on your watch face. ★ AUTOMATIC WAVE COUNTER Start a session and paddle out. BreakFinder detects every ride from motion and GPS — no buttons in the water — and logs wave count, top speed, ride time, distance, GPS track and heart rate. After each wave the screen flashes the ride: speed, seconds, metres. Three sensitivity modes — White Water, Green Wave and Performance — match how you surf. ★ A LIVE SCREEN YOU CAN READ WET Clean State shows one number and nothing else. James Bond adds two live slots of your choice: the tide and its next turn, the wind and when it swings, light left before sunset, swell period, or whether the session is building or fading. The touch lock keeps a wet screen from pressing itself, and the dim always-on view saves battery for a long session. ★ IT TAPS YOUR WRIST WHEN IT MATTERS • Last light: a tap 30 and again 15 minutes before sunset. • Peak Drift: mark the peak once, and the watch taps twice when the current carries you 25 m off it — never while you ride a wave. • Way back: an arrow to where you paddled out, for fog, dusk or an unfamiliar break. ★ SOLO CHECK-IN FOR SURFING ALONE Switch it on and after 20 quiet minutes the watch asks if you're alright — turn the crown to answer, even with the touch lock on. No answer in 3 minutes and the buddies you chose get a message with your position. Only them, nobody else. Paddling counts as a sign of life, so a long lull won't set it off. ★ HOLD-DOWN TIMER AND RECOVERY BREATH On watches with a barometer, BreakFinder times every hold-down under water and shows it when you surface — and says so when it went past the breath hold you train with BreakFinder Breath. Afterwards an optional haptic rhythm — in on one pulse, out on two — helps you breathe back down before the next set. ★ SURF LOG ON YOUR PHONE Every session syncs automatically: mapped on the GPS track, rated and ready to replay. Add photos and video, share a session card, and follow your form over the weeks. Sessions also reach Health Connect. ★ SURF FORECAST FOR 9,200+ SPOTS Swell, wind and tide for 9,200+ surf breaks in 140+ countries, scored on one scale so a good day looks the same everywhere. The native spot map filters by score, favourites and distance; the forecast scrubber shows how a day develops. Home screen widgets count down to the next swell, compare your spots and name the next tide. ★ FREE, WITH PREMIUM FOR MORE Wave tracking, the live screen, every safety feature and a 6-day forecast are free. Premium opens all 16 forecast days, your full session history, photos and video on every session, and scores for every spot you follow. 7-day free trial, cancel anytime. ★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ad tracking. The watch works offline in the water; sessions sync once you're back in range. Delete your account from inside the app at any time. GDPR compliant. Built by surfers, for surfers. breakfinder.surf
