Tidewise Fishing

Tidewise tells you what the water is doing at the spot you fish — and keeps telling you when the signal is gone. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Tide height, high and low water, sunrise, sunset and moon phase are computed on your phone from harmonic constants, the same astronomy the official tables use. No connection, no subscription, no waiting on a server. Weather and sea state are downloaded when you have a signal and cached for when you do not. OVER 6,000 TIDE STATIONS Every NOAA station in the United States, Hawaii and Alaska, plus a global tide-gauge catalogue covering Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. THE RIGHT STATION, NOT THE NEAREST ONE The closest gauge in a straight line is often the wrong one. Half Moon Bay is open Pacific coast, but its nearest gauge sits twenty kilometres away inside San Francisco Bay, where high water arrives an hour and forty-four minutes later with half again the range. Tidewise compares tidal phase rather than distance and picks the station that matches your water. You can always override it. CHECKED AGAINST THE OFFICIAL TABLES Every release is tested against published predictions. San Francisco: within 3.5 minutes and 2 cm. Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii: within 4 minutes and 1 cm. Anchorage, Alaska, a nine-metre range needing 120 harmonic constituents: within 7.5 minutes and 11 cm. WIND, WAVES AND WEATHER Wave height, swell, period and sea state next to wind, gusts, pressure trend, cloud, visibility and water temperature — hour by hour for seven days. A FISHING SCORE YOU CAN ARGUE WITH A transparent rating built from four things anglers already watch: tidal range, how close you are to the turn, the moon, and the hour around sunrise and sunset. Every component is shown, so you can see why it says what it says. PICK ANY SPOT Drop a pin anywhere on the map, search a bay or harbour by name, or let the app find you. Save the places you fish and switch between them. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH The same tides on your wrist, computed on the watch itself. Turn the Digital Crown to move through the day; see the tide curve, wind, waves, weather and the week ahead. The spot you pick on your iPhone follows you to the watch, or the watch finds you on its own. Add the tide complication to any watch face for the height, direction and next turn at a glance. TWO LOOKS A dark instrument dial, or a pixel e-ink theme that stays readable in direct sun. No account. No advertising. No tracking. Free. Tide and weather figures are predictions. Storm surge and local conditions can push the real water level and sea state well beyond any forecast — never rely on this app alone for your safety on rocks, jetties or a boat.
