Fishing, Crabbing & Surfing Analysis

Transparent environmental scores based on tide, wind and marine conditions. These are not user reports, catch guarantees or substitutes for official closures and safety guidance.

Fishing
Environmental planning guidance, not a catch guarantee.

Best planning window

2 hours around the next tide change

  • Moderate wind12 mph sustained wind
  • Mostly dry1% precipitation chance
  • Moving waterA rising tide can improve nearshore feeding activity
69/100 · Good
Crabbing
Conditions are secondary to seasons, closures and safety.

Best planning window

Near slack water, if the marine area is open

  • Regulations requiredConfirm the marine area is open before setting gear
  • Moderate tidal exchange4.5 ft range in the next cycle
23/100 · Poor
Surfing
Offshore model guidance with nearshore uncertainty.

Best planning window

Compare swell direction, local wind and tide before leaving
