Les marées au quotidien pour vos activités de bord de mer. Annuaire des marées - France et iles Anglo-Normandes. ©SHOM Licence 124/2017. marée.info - Horaire, hauteur et coefficient de marée 140 ports : • France métropolitaine : de Dunkerque à Saint-Jean-de-Luz • Anglo-Normandes : Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey De la consultation simple aux calculs de hauteur d'eau pour naviguer : • l'horloge des marées pour la marée du moment, • le calendrier des coefficients avec recherche, • le menu calendrier avec les coefficients et les phases de la lune, • les prédictions en détail avec le marégramme et les calculs, • la vue rapide des 7 jours (volet à droite pour les abonnés). Pratique : Le coefficient s'affiche en pastille sur l'icône de l'application pour le dernier port consulté. Des notifications peuvent être activées pour les pleines mers et basses mers lorsque l'application est inactive (voir Réglages). Pour plus de fiabilité et sécurité en mer, l'application fonctionne sans internet. Seules l'installation, les mises à jour et la gestion des abonnements nécessitent une connexion 4G ou WIFI. Assurez-vous que tout fonctionne avant de partir en mer. = Version sans abonnement (gratuit) Accès aux prédictions des marées du jour ainsi qu'au calendrier des coefficients de l'année. = Abonnement 1/6/12 mois (achats intégrés) Accès complet aux prédictions des marées disponibles. FONCTIONS : - Le sélecteur de port : Il permet de passer d'un port à l'autre et de gérer vos favoris. Une horloge sur chaque port permet un rapide coup d'oeil sur l'état de la marée. - L'horloge des marées : L'horloge vous donne l'état de la marée à l'instant T pour le port sélectionné. L'aiguille tourne dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Lorsque l'aiguille est à droite du cadran, la mer descend de Pleine Mer à Basse Mer puis l'aiguille passe à gauche du cadran pour la marée montante (de basse mer à pleine mer). Le coefficient est indiqué dans le petite fenêtre de l'horloge. - Le marégramme interactif : La courbe représente la hauteur d'eau en fonction des heures. Sur le graphique du jour un "flotteur" rouge indique le niveau de la mer. Un tap sur le flotteur affiche les détails dans la fenêtre supérieure (un tap dans le marégramme annule cet affichage). Pour activer la ligne de seuil, touchez et maintenez un point sur la courbe puis déplacez le, soit horizontalement pour suivre les heures, soit verticalement pour régler la hauteur. Le marégramme s'affiche en plus grand en mode paysage ou par 2 taps. Un tap sur les heures de lever et coucher du soleil affiche ou masque la limite jour/nuit. - Les calculs (seuil, sonde et tirant d'eau) : Un tap sur les heures ou les hauteurs de la vue supérieure active les roues de sélection. Soit en valeur absolue selon l'heure ou hauteur indiquée. Soit en valeur relative par rapport à la pleine ou basse mer. - Le calendrier : Coefficients, fêtes, jours fériés. La "loupe" active la recherche par critères. Ex: les grandes marées (coef >=100) pour samedi et dimanche. - Widget Aujourd'hui : l'horloge du dernier port consulté s'affiche dans le centre de notification (non compatible iOS18+) - Continuité (handoff) de l'application/site entre 2 appareils iPhone/iPad/Mac - Raccourcis Siri : "Dis Siri, quelle est la marée?" AVERTISSEMENT : En utilisant cette application vous vous engagez à lire et à accepter les conditions générales d'utilisations (CGU) et avertissements. Vous acceptez également que vous êtes conscients des dangers que peut avoir le phénomène des marées ainsi que les potentielles sources d'erreur ou de non fiabilité des appareils informatiques.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: marée.info at none against Weather Crave's shown. marée.info also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). Weather Crave's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (112 vs 29). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Weather Crave sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and marée.info sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weather Crave holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 112 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Weather Crave's written reviews are positive against 89% of marée.info's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Weather Crave ships an update every 3 weeks, marée.info monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
