Three views, one glance
Tidesy cycles through your stations and views on its own. Pick the views you like, and how long each one stays up.
The whole day as a graph
Today's tide curve with where the water is right now and your preferred and warning levels.
- Live gauge dots from NOAA next to the prediction
- Weather across the top
- Color status light you can see from across the room
Big numbers for across the room
Today's highs and lows in huge digits, the current level and whether it is rising or falling. Red and blue tell low from high before you can read the numbers.
- Current level with rise or fall per hour
- Bar showing where you are between your levels
Weather alerts, in full
When the National Weather Service issues a warning for your coast, Tidesy adds a page for it: what is happening, how serious it is, and when it starts and ends. The worst alert comes first.
- Gale, flood, surf and storm warnings
- Count of active alerts on every view
Not another gray gadget
Tidesy is something you look at every day, so it should look like you. Pick a faceplate and a frame to match your room, your wood floors or your front door. Let it stand out as the piece people ask about, or let it blend into the shelf. Your choice.
Know when it's your tide
Set a preferred level for the things you love, like tidepooling, dog walks or digging clams, and a warning level for when the water gets too high for your beach. Tidesy marks both on every view, so one look tells you whether now is a good time.
We set them for you before shipping, based on the last three months of tides at your station.
Plug it in. That's mostly it.

Full product description
A tiny form factor for small spaces with some serious tide power.
Small Footprint, Great Power
Don’t let the size fool you. With a crisp 2.8" display and sleek design, Tidesy S fits perfectly on nightstands, shelves, or tucked beside your gear—bringing tides, weather, and alerts to even the coziest corners. It’s compact, clever, and always coastal. Ideal for minimal setups or tight spaces, optimized for its small size, Tidesy S delivers rich data in a pocket-sized package (some data is displayed in the web view only).
It all comes in a sleek frame measuring 3.6" × 2.3" × 0.5".
- 2.8" Screen – Crisp 320×240 resolution for vivid tide graphs and oversized numbers
- Runs on DC 5V–2A – USB-C, Reliable power for round-the-clock tide tracking
- Temperature – Operates from -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C), stores from -22°F to 176°F (-30°C to 80°C)
- Environment – Tidesy is designed for indoor use only and must be kept away from moisture, direct sunlight, and outdoor elements. Exposure to rain, humidity, salt air, or extreme temperatures can compromise the integrity of its wooden frame, damage internal electronics, and affect display performance. To ensure long-term reliability and accurate tide readings, Tidesy should be installed in a dry, climate-controlled environment—ideally on a stable surface away from windows, sinks, or other sources of condensation.
- Frame 3.6" × 2.3" × 0.5"
- Active Display Area 3.4 × 1.97 inches of pure coastal insight
- Reset Button Included – Because sometimes, even the ocean needs a refresh
- Power supply not included – Tidesy runs from any standard USB-C phone charger (5V, 2A), so you can reuse one you already have and keep another adapter out of the landfill. Need one? Add our Power Kit.
Frame:
- The main body uses PLA, a plant‑based, non‑toxic, biodegradable thermoplastic, offered in black, white, gray, and sand for a clean, modern foundation.
- A choice of wooden faceplates lets you shift the aesthetic toward natural warmth with cherry, maple, basswood, or walnut.
- For a more vibrant or contemporary look, the acrylic faceplate comes in red, black, white, blue, or teal, and every body–faceplate combination is fully customizable.
- The frame comes with a stand that can be adjusted to two angles, and the body of the frame has a mounting hole.
Ready for your beach the moment you plug it in:
- Every Tidesy is set up for you before it leaves our workshop. We use your shipping address to pick the three NOAA tide stations closest to you, check that each one is reporting good data, and load them onto your display, so the first thing you see is your own coast rather than a setup menu. A card in the box and an email before delivery tell you exactly which stations we chose and why.
- We also tune your tide alerts to the water you actually live on. Tides differ hugely from place to place: a few inches on the Gulf, two feet in Hawaii, ten on the Pacific Northwest coast. So we look at the last three months of tides at your main station and set your warning level and your preferred "best beach time" window to match. Want something different? Every setting can be changed from your phone in seconds.

Do I need a subscription?
No. Your Tidesy works fully without one. Every Tidesy comes with 6 months of Premium free, which lets you check your dashboard from anywhere, not just your home Wi-Fi.
Does it work outside the US?
Tidesy uses NOAA stations, so it covers the US coasts, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Pacific territories.
What if my Wi-Fi changes?
Tidesy keeps showing the last tides it loaded and walks you through joining the new network from its own setup page.
