Canary Beaches is the nicest way to check the sea before heading to the beach, across all 8 islands. • Tides: when they rise and fall, with today's chart and a 7-day table. They are computed on your phone, so they work offline. • Sea state: swell, wind and water temperature for every beach. • Indicative danger level from currents (low/medium/high), with a clear warning and the reason why. Never a substitute for official flags and lifeguards. • 496 beaches and rock pools with real photos, a map with a legend, and filters by island, type and danger level. • Sort beaches from nearest to farthest using your location. • Save your favorites and reach them in one tap. Native, fast and polished. Sea and weather data by Open-Meteo. REMOVE ADS (optional) A one-time EUR 2.99 purchase that removes every ad from the app, forever. It is not a subscription: you pay once and that is it. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
