Know before you go. Beachable reads live tide, swell, and wind data and tells you, in plain language, whether today is worth it. No numbers to decode, just a clear go or no-go for the ocean activity you care about. The ocean runs on its own schedule. Beachable does the interpretation for you: it pulls from NOAA buoy networks, tide models, and marine forecast APIs, then runs each location through a scoring engine calibrated to that specific activity. What you see reflects the actual conditions at your spot, not a generic regional average. Beaching Tide timing is everything. Beachable works out when low tide exposes enough sand to actually use the beach, factors in wave height so a low tide under 6-foot surf doesn't fool you, and gives you a window: how long it lasts and when it returns. Surfing Wave height alone doesn't tell you much. Beachable scores each break on swell height, swell period, direction match to that spot's orientation, wind, and tide state together. You get a single honest rating, plus a 10-day forecast so you can plan around your schedule. Diving Visibility is the one condition divers can't judge until they're in the water. Beachable estimates it in real time from sea state, swell, and wind data, then scores your dive site and tells you whether it's worth the drive. Fishing Tides, swell, wind, and seasonal species data combine into a single fishing conditions score. Current fish counts from local sportfishing landings are pulled live, so you know what's actually being caught. Set your home location and Beachable loads the best nearby spots for each activity automatically: beaches, surf breaks, dive sites, and fishing grounds, from California to Hawaii, Ireland, Australia, Bali, and more. Every condition is personalized to your coast. Upgrade to Pro for the full 10-day forecast, custom threshold alerts for any spot in your list, detailed conditions breakdowns, and gear recommendations.

About

Multi Weather

Read full description

Multi Weather lines up official agency forecasts and numerical model output on one screen so you can spot where they disagree at a glance. Instead of trusting a single forecast, compare the official JMA forecast with the output of several models to make on-site Go/No-Go calls faster. ■ Official forecasts and model output together See official forecasts from JMA, MET Norway, Apple and NWS (US), alongside numerical model output from GFS, ECMWF, ICON and more — whichever are available for your location — overlaid on one timeline. Weather symbols (each agency's or model's own classification), precipitation (amount/probability), wind, temperature, cloud cover and humidity, side by side. Data sources: JMA, NOAA GFS, NWS (US), ECCC (Canada, GDPS), MET Norway, ECMWF (IFS, AIFS), ICON model (DWD), HARMONIE model (DMI), Apple Weather. ■ See the disagreement Every source is drawn on the same graph, so the hours where forecasts and model output split are visible at a glance. The way professionals read model differences — in seconds, for anyone. ■ Evidence export (CSV and PDF) Export the comparison as CSV or PDF to share. Hand a clear basis for a stop/postpone decision to clients or contractors. ■ Jump to other services Open JMA, tenki.jp, Yahoo Weather or Windy for the exact spot you're viewing, in an in-app window. ■ Built for the field For construction, civil works, ports, surveying, drones, film shoots, fishing and hiking — anything weather-dependent. Note: This app does not make its own forecast. It shows official agency forecasts (e.g. JMA) and numerical model output as provided, side by side. Numerical model output is not a forecast and may contain large errors. Final decisions are your responsibility. The first 30 days are completely free. To keep using all features afterward, an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) is required — cancel anytime.
