Tidal Pool: Tidepool Timing

Plan the low tide. Meet the residents. Leave no wake. Tidal Pool helps you choose the right time for a tidepool visit and understand what you find there. It combines official tide predictions, a hand-written field guide, local ethics, and a private field journal in one calm app for the coasts of the United States and Canada. YOUR NEXT LOW TIDE See the next low tide at your selected coast, the exact time, height in feet, and a 24-hour tide curve. Daylight and below-zero windows are easy to spot. Predictions come from NOAA Tides & Currents in the United States and the Canadian Hydrographic Service in Canada. 33 VERIFIED STATIONS Choose from 33 launch-verified tide stations across the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf, Hawai'i, and the Canadian Maritime and Pacific coasts. THE 12 BEST WINDOWS The minus-tide calendar highlights the twelve lowest daylight tides at your station so you can plan exceptional days months ahead. 73 HAND-WRITTEN SPECIES CARDS Browse 73 curated intertidal species from the Pacific, Atlantic, and Canadian Maritime and Pacific coasts. Filter by coast, tide zone, or safety. Each card explains habitat, identification, range, ethics, and whether to keep your distance. LOOK. DO NOT TOUCH. LEAVE NO WAKE. Review coast-specific etiquette and quick first-aid guidance for creatures that sting, bite, or pinch. Tide pools are living habitats: observe gently and leave every animal where you found it. MEASURE WITHOUT LIFTING Estimate an animal’s size in your own photo using a common coin for scale. Nothing needs to leave the pool. YOUR PRIVATE FIELD JOURNAL Save sightings with a photo, place, tide height, and species. Journal data stays on your device, and location metadata is removed before you share a photo.
