## What is SafeWaters.ai?

Surf Forecast, Wave Reports, Tides & Shark Risk - All in One App
SafeWaters.AI is your complete ocean intelligence platform combining surf forecasts, wave reports, tide charts, and AI-powered shark risk predictions. Whether you're a surfer checking wave conditions, a spearfisherman planning your dive, or a swimmer heading to the beach - get all the data you need in one place.
SURF & WAVE FORECASTS

Detailed wave height, period, and direction forecasts
7-day surf reports for any beach worldwide
Real-time ocean conditions and swell data
Visibility forecasts for spearfishing and diving
Comprehensive tide predictions and charts

AI SHARK RISK FORECASTING
Like Surfline for surf reports - but we add shark risk intelligence. Our unique AI model, trained on over 200 years of shark attack and marine weather data, generates 7-day shark risk forecasts for any beach in the world.
Now when you check your surf forecast, wave report, or tide chart before heading to the ocean, you can check the shark forecast too. SafeWaters.AI adds an extra layer of ocean safety so surfers, spearfishermen, divers, and beachgoers can make smarter, more informed decisions.
HOW IT WORKS

Search any beach location worldwide (e.g., New Smyrna Beach, FL or Bondi Beach, Australia)
View surf forecasts, wave heights, tide times, and visibility conditions
Check current day or 7-day shark risk forecast
Save favorite surf spots and dive sites for quick access
Preview conditions right from your home screen

WHO IT'S FOR

Surfers checking wave forecasts and swell reports
Spearfishermen monitoring visibility and tide conditions
Swimmers and ocean safety enthusiasts
Lifeguards and beach authorities planning safety measures
Anyone seeking comprehensive ocean and surf conditions

OCEAN CONSERVATION COMMITMENT
We pledge 5% of all profits to ocean cleanup and shark protection efforts—helping you stay informed while supporting marine conservation.
IMPORTANT NOTE
SafeWaters.AI does not predict shark attacks but provides risk forecasts based on historical and environmental data. A "High Risk" day indicates that current conditions—spanning 40 marine weather variables, date, and location—closely resemble those of past incidents. Always use personal judgment and follow local safety guidance.
Your use of SafeWaters.AI signifies understanding and acceptance of these terms.

### 1/5 — No access to popular beaches

*2026-05-31*

Tried a few popular beaches in California and got the same error that there were no results. This app is a great concept but it shouldn’t be released until it’s ready and fully debugged.

**Developer response:** Hey! We updated the map dropdown and your spots should all be there. Even if it isn't in the dropdown, you can still search any break and you will get a result. Just be specific with your search and click search. No need to click a location from he dropdown. Try again!

### 1/5 — Not free trial!

Charged me over $18 for the first month “free trial”!

**Developer response:** Hi, our pricing has never been that high and our free trial has always been active. Not sure how this is possible. Are you sure the apple charge you saw wan't from other subscriptions?

I live in Newport Beach and couldn’t find any of my local breaks. They also asked for a donation before I could their product.
