Read the tides simply: four signals in two seconds, to help you plan your trip

The headline

Coming in or going out

The most important thing to know, stated plainly. You can stand on a beach for twenty minutes and still not know if the tide is rising or falling. Shore Check tells you in two words.

The number

High tide in 1h 34m

The countdown to the next turn. Should you head to the beach now, or wait? This is the number that makes the decision for you.

Where you are

Nearly high, still rising

Twelve plain-English phrases that tell you exactly where you are in the tidal cycle. No percentages, no charts. Just words.

Worth coming back?

More beach, or less?

Compare the exact same time tomorrow: will there be more beach, or less? No heights, no mental arithmetic — just the signal that tells you whether it's worth the trip.

Beyond the four

How tides work

Reading the wave

The wave curve shows today's full tidal cycle at a glance.

The solid line is what's already happened. The dashed line is what's coming. The amber arrow is now — you are here.

Peaks are high tides. Troughs are low tides. The four times labelled on the curve are today's tide times.

The wave moves as the day progresses. The arrow stays still. Everything to the left has happened. Everything to the right is coming.

How tides work

Reading the tide clock

The tide clock is an analogue clock face, but instead of telling the time, it tells you where you are in the tidal cycle.

HIGH TIDE is at 12 o'clock. LOW TIDE is at 6 o'clock. The numbers 1–5 either side count the hours between them.

The surfboard hand sweeps clockwise when the tide is going out (moving from high to low), and counter-clockwise when it's coming in (moving from low back to high).

A full tidal cycle is roughly 12 hours and 25 minutes. One sweep from HIGH around to LOW and back takes a full cycle.
