Tidecast helps you answer one simple question: is the tide right for our plan? Maybe you are taking kids to tide pools, meeting a friend for a beach walk, setting up a picnic, taking coastal photos, or waiting for a path to open at a lower water level. Tidecast puts the next tide change, current height, and the water level you care about where you can see them fast. At a glance: - A bright, easy-to-see tide chart shows the next few days, with sunrise, sunset, night, the moon, and a marker for right now. - When weather is in the forecast, clouds, rain, or snow can appear right on the chart, so the tide and sky tell one story. - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep tide height, next high or low, and a tiny chart handy without opening the app. - Custom tide level widgets can watch for the water height you care about. - Local alerts can remind you before a good tidepooling window or before the tide falls to your chosen level. Plan around the water: - Let Tidecast find a nearby NOAA tide prediction location, choose one on the map, or save favorites. - Turn on Tidepooling Mode to highlight windows that match your low-tide goal, daylight choices, and how long you want to visit. - Add your own low-tide line for beach walks, sandbars, launches, photo spots, or any place where "low enough" matters. - Check wind, waves, water temperature, and marine and coastal alerts before you head out. Features: - Easy to skim chart with: rising or falling tide, next high or low, current height, and tide windows. - Lockscreen and Springboard widgets make quick checks feel like peeking out the window. - Tidecast can keep recent tide and condition info on hand when service gets spotty. - Light and Dark looks follow your phone, with seasonal colors that feel a little different through the year.
