Tide Charts vs Surf Agent

Finally a beautiful and simple way to view tides on your mobile device! In addition to worldwide tidal estimates at tide stations, you can see the lunar data, weather forecast, and current radar making your next outdoor adventure as easy to plan as possible. By default, the application will pick the closest tide station to you, but picking a different tide or weather station is as easy as viewing a map of your current location. You can also setup and quickly switch between many stored favorite stations if you need to. No internet access while outdoors? No problem. This app has been designed to give you tidal and lunar predictions without internet access!

Surf Agent gives you honest, AI-powered surf forecasts for 200+ spots across California, Oregon, Washington, and the East Coast — then tells you which of YOUR boards to ride. Instead of squinting at raw charts, you get a clear, ranked read on where it's actually worth paddling out, written like a knowledgeable friend who checked the buoys for you. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Real data, not just a model. Every forecast cross-references live NOAA buoy readings (both offshore and nearshore), National Weather Service hyperlocal wind, NOAA tide predictions, and Open-Meteo swell — reconciled into one honest rating. • Star-rated & ranked. Pick your spots and a time, and Surf Agent ranks them so you know where to go. Ratings are absolute and honest — if it's flat or blown out, it says so. • Personalized board recommendations. Add your quiver (shortboard, fish, mid-length, longboard, and more) and an optional rider profile (height, weight, skill). For each spot, Surf Agent recommends the single best board to ride for those exact conditions — factoring in the spot's character and your size. • Dawn patrol to a week out. Check conditions right now or plan up to 7 days ahead. • Built for surfers. Offshore vs. nearshore buoy weighting, swell-direction awareness, tide timing — the details that actually decide whether it's good. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a free account. 2.
