Tide Charts You Can Actually Read
A smooth, continuous tide curve — not four dots and a guess — with the current level marked live and the next high and low front and center.
The whole curve, not just the turning points
Most tide tables give you high and low times and leave you to interpolate. PierMonkey draws the continuous hourly tide prediction from NOAA CO-OPS harmonic stations, with a live "you are here" marker on the curve — so mid-tide push, draining low, and everything between is visible at a glance.
Built around surf windows
Night and twilight are softly shaded across the tide and forecast charts, so you can frame the tide around actual daylight. Next high and next low are called out with times, and every buoy and surf-spot page carries its tide preview in the conditions strip up top.
Tide predictions come from NOAA CO-OPS harmonic stations, matched and verified per location.
Why the tide matters as much as the swell
Plenty of breaks only work on the right tide — a reef that's firing at mid can be dry at low and buried at high. Seeing the tide curve next to the swell forecast and wind is how you turn "there's swell" into "be there at 8:30."
