Know before you go. MarineWise combines tides, marine weather, solunar periods, and a daily fishing score into one app built for boaters and anglers. MARINE WEATHER Wind speed and direction, wave height and period, and sea surface conditions from Open-Meteo — 7 days out. Know what the water looks like before you leave the dock. TIDE PREDICTIONS NOAA-sourced tide charts and predictions for thousands of stations along the US coastline. See the full tidal curve, high and low extremes, and tide timing for any day. DAILY FISHING SCORE Every day gets a 0–100 score calculated from the factors that actually affect fish activity — tidal movement, solunar peaks, barometric pressure, wind conditions, and prime feeding windows. No guesswork. One number tells you how good the day looks before you leave the dock. SOLUNAR FORECASTS Major and minor feeding periods calculated from the moon's position for your exact location. See moonrise, moonset, moon phase, and the daily solunar timeline at a glance. TRIP PLANNER Pick a date and get a recommendation with a suggested departure time based on tide windows, solunar peaks, and weather conditions combined. BUILT FOR THE WATER - Save favorite locations for quick access - Offline-friendly — data loads fast and stays cached - Dark interface designed for bright sunlight and early mornings - No account required. No ads. MarineWise is for recreational planning only. Always check official sources before heading offshore.
