ShoreSure gives you what you need before you head to the beach: swim quality, tide times, and live weather for your favourite spots. One place, no account, no fuss. Swim quality comes from LAWA (Land, Air, Water Aotearoa). You get a clear grade so you know if the water is good to swim in right now. Tide times and heights are from NIWA, so you can plan around high and low water at any NZ beach. Weather is live at a glance: sun, wind, temperature, and rain for your chosen spot. Save up to four favourite beaches and jump straight to them. Turn on daily swim reports and we’ll notify you at a time you choose. No need to remember to check. The app is built to be fast and light. Quick launch, efficient data use, and a clean experience. We’re privacy-first: no accounts with the absolute minimal amount of analytics and location data. Know before you go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tide at none against ShoreSure's shown. ShoreSure's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
