About this app

Welcome to NOAA Tides Chart, your all-in-one tide chart and tide forecast app with real-time NOAA data. Whether you're checking a fishing tide chart before heading out, searching for tides near me on a weekend trip, or planning a sail, our app delivers accurate tide predictions for stations worldwide.

Powered by NOAA tide data and trusted marine weather sources, we provide precise tide forecast data, high and low tide predictions, a lunar calendar, and sunrise/sunset tracking. Plan your next fishing, sailing, surfing, or beachcombing trip with confidence using wave conditions, sea surface temperature (SST), and full tide history.

Key Features:
✅ Global tide charts: high and low water predictions for stations worldwide, shown as a full curve so you can read the whole day at a glance rather than just the peak times.
✅ Daily tide forecast: in-depth tidal insights for the day ahead, including the timing and height of each high and low.
✅ Find tides near you: location-based search picks up your nearest station instantly, so you get data for where you actually are rather than the nearest big port.
✅ Fishing tide chart tools: solunar data showing the major and minor periods that drive feeding activity, so you can time your trip around the best bite windows.
✅ Fish Activity Score: rates each day from 0 to 100 using solunar periods, moon phase and local conditions. It shows your best window for the day along with major and minor feeding times.
✅ Lunar calendar and real-time sunrise and sunset tracking: moon phase and daylight times for your station, useful for planning early starts and late returns.
✅ Monthly tide reports: see the full month ahead in one view to plan trips, spring tides and the lowest water of the month well in advance.
✅ Tide Alerts: set an alert for the conditions you care about and get notified before they happen, a low tide for clamming, slack water for diving, or the incoming push you've been waiting for.
✅ Wave and swell forecasts: height, period and direction for any station, so you know what the water will actually be doing before you head out.
✅ Tide history: quickly access past tide information to check conditions on a day that fished or sailed well, and plan around the same pattern next time.
✅ Flexible search: find any station by name, station ID or location, whether you know exactly where you're going or you're exploring somewhere new.
✅ Favorites: save the spots you use most and view their high and low data instantly, without searching again each time.
✅ Filtered views: switch between All, Nearest and Favorites to get to the station you need in a couple of taps.
✅ Customize units: set feet or metrs, 12 or 24 hour time, and the measurement preferences that match how you read conditions.

Who it's for?

Boaters and sailors checking conditions before leaving the dock, anglers timing the bite, surfers tracking swell, divers and kayakers planning around slack water, and beachcombers waiting on the lowest water of the month.

Ratings and reviews

The gaul to try to charge money for tide charts, when the data is pulled right off a government website our taxes pay for. Everything besides the most basic is behind pro, pro is expensive. Trash. If you remember when the internet was made by people trying to improve the world, this app is not for you.

The app works great, until I try to use the charts. Every time I try to use the charts, the app crashes on me. Other than that, the other features are great.

I like the concept of this app because I can choose which tide datum to use and the interface is visually great and intuitive, but currently it has a LOT of bugs and a LOT of intrusive ads. Also the tide data is slightly different than NOAA's website (even using the same datum) but close enough for my purposes. If the bugs weren't a problem I'd go premium to remove the ads, but as it is now it isn't worth the price. Will be keeping an eye on the app to see if the issues get fixed though!
