Is Windsurf down?
Windsurf looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Windsurfdown detector & server status
Is Windsurf down or not working right now? This live Windsurf down detector combines Cognition's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the WindsurfAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Windsurfis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.
How we know

Performance
●Normal speedIs it slower than its own normal? A status page won't tell you — we measure it.

12,829reachable checks. The line plots the median of each interval, so one timeout can't spike it, and we lead with the median rather than an average, which a single slow response would skew. Failed checks are excluded: a timeout is not a response time.
Responding normally (~235 ms typical).
Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Windsurf fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

Recent incidents
No recent incidents reported on Windsurf's official status page. Historical incident tracking begins once our database is live — for now, see the official status page.
What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine Cognition's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside Cognition's systems. When our dependency graph points upstream, at Anthropic or OpenAI, we say so. Otherwise we report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the Windsurf API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Windsurfbut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Windsurf down right now?+
Right now, Windsurf appears to be operational. Windsurf looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a Windsurf down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Windsurf down detector. It combines Windsurf's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. Windsurf is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Windsurf outage today?+
No active Windsurf outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Windsurf's status history below.
What is Windsurf's server status and API status right now?+
Windsurf is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Windsurf API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected. Windsurf depends on Anthropic and OpenAI, so an incident there can cascade to Windsurf and other AI tools at the same time.
Is the Windsurf API down? (Cognition API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Windsurf is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Cognition API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Cognition's own status feed and watch the API surface directly. Windsurf depends on Anthropic and OpenAI, so an incident there can cascade to Windsurf and other AI tools at the same time.
Why is Windsurf slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Windsurf is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem. Windsurf depends on Anthropic and OpenAI, so an incident there can cascade to Windsurf and other AI tools at the same time.
Is Windsurf down for everyone or just me?+
We check Windsurf from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Cognition's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Windsurf but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, Windsurf is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Windsurf or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Windsurf's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Windsurf's side.
What can I use while Windsurf is down?+
Good alternatives include Cursor, Bolt, Claude. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Windsurf's official status page?+
Windsurf's official status page is at https://status.windsurf.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
