Find your next coastal fishing window with Outgoing Tide. Bring tide charts, weather and marine forecasts together around the station you choose. READ THE WATER Explore predicted high and low tides, wind, waves and swell. Use moon and solunar information, fish references and saved locations to plan ahead. Tide predictions are calculated guidance, not measured water levels. Preliminary station observations are separate and may be revised. FOLLOW CHANGING WEATHER Check hourly and seven-day weather. Play recent observed radar history, then view separately labeled model forecast precipitation where available. Future precipitation is forecast guidance, not radar imagery or predicted storm tracks. COVERAGE AND CONNECTION Explore supported NOAA CO-OPS tide stations, primarily along U.S. coasts, including Alaska and Hawaii, with selected territories and other locations in the station catalog. Coverage is not worldwide. Water-level observations, weather, marine forecasts and radar depend on the station, region and provider; not every location has every data type. An internet connection is needed to load and refresh data and radar. Pro lets you view previously saved supported tide charts offline; it does not provide offline weather or radar. Check data timestamps before relying on a saved chart. FREE AND PRO Free includes online tide charts and current weather, radar, 30-day tide predictions and solunar guidance, 48-hour swell forecasts, 24-hour wind forecasts, details for any three fish species per local day, one Homebase and two saved locations. Free may show banner and occasional interstitial ads. Pro adds the full available tide, solunar, swell and wind ranges, all supported fish details, ocean temperature, predicted-versus-preliminary water-level comparisons where observations exist, saved offline tide charts and unlimited saved locations. Only a paid Pro subscription removes ads. One Homebase applies to every tier. New installations eligible for the one-time Pro Preview get seven calendar days of functional Pro access, with ads and no payment information required. It begins at the first successful loaded-app launch and ends at local midnight at the start of Day 8 in the timezone where it began. It never charges or auto-renews; without a subscription, access then returns to Free. Optional monthly and yearly Pro subscriptions offer the same access. The App Store shows localized prices, billing periods and any eligible introductory offer before purchase. Store offers are separate from the app-managed Preview. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscriptions, or use Restore Purchases in the app. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. No Outgoing Tide account is required. Optional location access helps sort nearby stations. Outgoing Tide is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NOAA. Use it for trip planning and reference, not navigation or emergency decisions. Check official warnings and current fishing regulations before heading out.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Outgoing Tide at 100% against PredictCurrent's 57%. Outgoing Tide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). PredictCurrent's advantage is ratings volume (255 vs 5) and chart position (#62 vs #198). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
