FORECAST CHECK

See what is current.

Old weather and tide readings are not treated as live. If something is too old to trust, it is left out of the planning view.

Tides · verified source ↗

NOAA tide predictions

Tide stage and change are checked against the station closest to each configured fishing location.

Weather · verified source ↗

National Weather Service

Official forecasts provide the wind, temperature, and weather context used in the planning view.

Observations · verified source ↗

NOAA NDBC buoys

Buoy observations add a measured ocean check when a suitable station is available nearby.

Marine model · verified source ↗

Open-Meteo marine

Modeled current and marine conditions fill the planning context without pretending to be a catch guarantee.

Structure · verified source ↗

NOAA bathymetry

Reviewed depth and structure layers provide topographic context where the evidence is available.

Rules · verified source ↗

CDFW regulations

Current California regulations remain the final check before keeping fish or entering an access area.

Sources inform relative planning guidance. They do not predict catch probability and do not replace current regulations or on-water judgment.

COMMUNITY TRIP LOG / BETA

The skunks count, too.

Any complete trip helps build a structured backdrop for future evaluation. Location, time, effort, method, catches, whether it is a skunk or not—each outcome is useful and genuinely appreciated.

The future community layer will compare catch per angler-hour in highly varied windows against lower-ranked windows—not accidental claims.

Record every outcome

Keep catches, short releases, other species, and no-catch time in the same honest record.

Reuse your setup

Save rod, reel, rig, and bait or lure as a gear preset for the next trip.

Note what changed

Capture waves, weeds, snags, casting room, and overall fishability at the water.
