About

Tide Live

Tide Live turns the forecast into a living beach scene. The water rises and falls with the tide, waves follow the marine forecast, clouds drift with the wind, and the sun and moon cross the sky in real time. WHAT YOU GET • Tides for 14 days: high and low water, times and heights • Hour-by-hour weather: temperature, clouds, rain, humidity, pressure and UV index • Wind speed and direction • Wave height, period and direction • Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon phase • A living scene: golden sunsets, moonlight on the water, rain and thunderstorms with haptic thunder • Play a whole day in seconds or scrub to any hour • Any coast in the world: search by name or coordinates, or use your location once PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location is used only when you tap the button, and only to get the forecast for that place. GOOD TO KNOW Tides are modelled sea-level forecasts, not official harbour tide tables. Do not use Tide Live for navigation or safety decisions. Weather and marine data: Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0).
