How It Works
Your tides, weather and alerts on one small screen
Tidesy is a display for your home that shows what the water is doing at your beach today. It's set up for your coast before it ships and keeps itself up to date.
Three steps, and only one of them is yours
We set it up for your coast
We use your shipping address to pick the nearest NOAA tide stations and tune your tide levels to your water.
You plug it in
Connect it to your home Wi-Fi from your phone. That's the only setup you do.
It takes care of itself
Tides, weather and alerts stay current on their own, and new features arrive automatically.
Two views of the tide, plus alerts when they matter
The whole day at a glance
A smooth curve of today's tide, with a marker showing where the water is right now and whether it's rising or falling.
- Today's highs and lows, with times
- Current temperature and wind, and any active alerts
- On touchscreen models, tap any point on the curve to see that hour's tide
Big numbers across the room
The next highs and lows in large digits, plus the tide right now. Easy to read from the kitchen or the couch.
Tidesy can switch between both views on its own, or stay on the one you like.
Your own tide levels
Mark the tide you like best, say a low enough tide for a walk to the point, and a level that's too high for the beach. Tidesy shades those hours so you know when to go.
We set sensible levels for your beach before it ships. Change them anytime from your phone.
Weather alerts, in plain view
When the National Weather Service issues an alert for your area, like a high surf warning, coastal flood advisory or small craft advisory, Tidesy shows it on screen with what, where, when and how serious.
No alerts, nothing extra. Just your tides.
More about your day at the coast
Out of the box, Tidesy shows the tide. Each of these is one switch away.
Rain
Hour-by-hour rain under the tide curve.
Sun and moon
Daylight hours and the moon phase, so you know if the low tide comes after dark.
Waves and water
Wave height and water temperature.
UV and air quality
Whether to grab a hat, or keep the windows closed.
Live water level
At stations with a tide gauge, the real water level drawn on top of the prediction, and a heads-up when it nears flood levels.
Razor clam digs
Upcoming dig days and closures for Washington, Oregon and California beaches.
Your Tidesy, on any screen at home
Open tidesy.local in any browser on your home Wi-Fi to see all your stations, larger tide charts, maps and full alert details, and to change any setting. There's nothing to install.
Want it away from home too? Every Tidesy includes 6 months of Tidesy Premium free, so you can check your dashboard from anywhere. How Premium works
Trusted sources, kept fresh
It looks after itself
Always current
New data arrives on its own, all day. If the internet drops, Tidesy keeps showing the day's tides and catches up when it's back.
Quiet at night
The screen dims, or turns off, during the hours you choose.
Gets better over time
Software updates install themselves over Wi-Fi. No cables, no SD cards.
