  • Data aggregated from multiple marine sources
  • Auto-refresh, no manual reloads

Why menubar

Browser tabs vs. the menubar

A tiny app beats a forecast site for one simple reason: it's already there.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you buy.

Which macOS versions are supported?
Surf Forecast Menubar runs on macOS 12 Monterey and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
It's a one-time $9.99 purchase with lifetime updates. No subscription, no upsells.
Where does the surf data come from?
We aggregate wave, swell, wind and tide data from multiple trusted marine sources and refresh it every few hours.
Can I add multiple surf spots?
Yes — add as many spots as you'd like and switch between them from the menubar dropdown.
How do smart alerts work?
Set your ideal wave height, wind direction and tide window. We'll fire a native macOS notification the moment your local spot is firing — and stay quiet otherwise.
Will it drain my battery?
No. The app sits idle in the menubar and only fetches a small amount of data every few hours. Negligible battery and network impact.
Do you collect personal data?
We don't track you. The only data leaving your Mac is the spot coordinates needed to fetch a forecast. See the privacy policy for details.
Do you offer a refund?
Yes. If it's not for you within 7 days of purchase, email anasboukharta@gmail.com for a full no-questions refund.
