What's New in Gyre
1.3
October 20, 2026
Gyral Tides is now Gyre. Tap anywhere on the water to read it. With Wind, Waves, or Currents on, a tap shows that layer's reading at the spot. With Tides on, it shows the tide there, from the nearest station or a model estimate. The new Tides layer colors the whole ocean by the state of the tide, and tide station markers use the same colors. Wind, waves, and currents now sit on a soft color field, currents fade smoothly into sheltered water, and the map refreshes its forecast when you come back to the app.
