No tide info?

“Tides” is the first word in the description here in the App Store but nowhere in the app could I find tide information for my location. If there’s some trick to finding it or if it’s only available for certain places then just say that upfront.

Suck

Windfinder says delta is 8 mph , it was 24 mph, ocean said 5 ft by 20 seconds swell, it was 7 ft by 7 seconds… SUCKS

Grueling

I got the wrong app because I just wanted wind and temperature high and low. It doesn’t give that. But Lord Almighty this is the most poorly designed app I’ve ever seen. It is grueling to use.

Would not want to be on the water without it. Great for picking the best days to be out. No surprises.
