## What is Florida Weather & Tide?

Florida Weather & Tide is the marine weather, tide, and fishing companion built for the people who actually fish Florida, by someone who actually fishes Florida.

No ads. No selling your data. Free to start. Just clean, fast access to the marine data you'd otherwise stitch together from five different NOAA sites, paired with a beautifully designed fish log you'll actually want to open.

LIVE MARINE DATA
  - NOAA tide stations with hourly and high/low predictions
  - Real-time buoy reports: wave height and period, wind and gusts, water and air temperature, barometric pressure
  - National Weather Service marine and nearshore forecasts
  - Solunar tables and astronomical data: sunrise, sunset, moon phase, major and minor feeding windows
  - Hurricane Center and Storm Prediction Center awareness so you know when not to go

FLORIDA-FIRST MAP
  - Every NOAA buoy and public boat ramp along Florida's coast on one interactive map
  - One tap routes you to the ramp in Apple or Google Maps
  - Drop a pin on a fishing spot and pull live tide, wind, and weather for that exact location
  - Light, dark, and brightness-adjustable map tiles for sun-glare days on the water

FISH LOG
  - Log every catch with photo, species, length, weight, location, and notes
  - A premium "baseball card" view for every fish you've caught
  - Conditions are captured automatically; the actual tide stage, wind, moon, and weather at the moment of the catch; so patterns become obvious
  - Insights tab: top species, productive spots, best times of day, best tide stages
  - Quick photo capture for when the bite is on and you'll fill in details later

FLORIDA SALTWATER REGULATIONS
  - FWC size limits, bag limits, and open seasons built in
  - Region-aware: shows the rules that apply where you actually are
  - Season board surfaces what's open right now so you stop guessing at the cleaning table

BUILT RIGHT
  - Works offline: tides, ramps, regulations, and your entire fish log are cached on device
  - Free cloud sync across your phone, iPad, and any future device once you sign in
  - No ads. No selling your data. Your fishing spots stay yours.

WHY THIS APP
Florida is thriving, and the people on the water deserve better than a generic weather app or a subscription tide site that treats you like a tourist. Florida Weather & Tide is made by a Florida native, avid fisherman, and software engineer who got tired of bouncing between NOAA, FWC, a ramp finder, and a notes app every time he wanted to fish. So he built one thing that does all of it and made it feel like an app you'd actually want on your home screen.

Redfish, snook, tarpon, trout, grouper, mahi, kingfish, cobia whatever you chase, from Pensacola to Key West to Fernandina Beach, this is built for you.

Tight lines.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-10

UI & Bug Fixes

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-15

Live weather radar, fish log catches on the map, bug fixes

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-27

Fixed a crash on the map. Zooming quickly could leave the map stuck on an error screen until you force-quit and reopened the app. That is fixed.

Regulations is no longer hidden. The season board only appeared after you logged your first catch, so new users never saw it. It now sits in the Fish Log from the moment you install, alongside Log and Insights.

Tide charts are more accurate on daylight saving changeover days. The last hour of the day could previously drop out of the curve, which could hide a late high or low.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-26

The tip jar is now open. If FWT helps you fish smarter, you can leave a tip to support development. No other changes.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-23

No release notes.
