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.

84/100 · Very good
Fishing
Environmental planning guidance, not a catch guarantee.

Best planning window

2 hours around the next tide change

  • Manageable wind10 mph sustained wind
  • Mostly dry0% 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 exchange6.1 ft range in the next cycle
60/100 · Fair
Surfing
Offshore model guidance with nearshore uncertainty.

Best planning window

Compare swell direction, local wind and tide before leaving
