CoastCue: Tides & Fishing

Plan coastal days with NOAA tides, local weather, wave context, and advisory fishing outlooks.

INDEPENDENT APP
CoastCue does not represent, and is not affiliated with, any government entity. NOAA, the National Weather Service, and the National Data Buoy Center do not endorse CoastCue.

OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DATA SOURCES
Tide and current predictions, observed water levels, and marine station readings: NOAA Tides & Currents (CO-OPS)

COASTAL PLANNING
- Find United States NOAA tide stations by city, state, station ID, map, or optional location.
- See predicted tides, next high and low, and a rolling 24-hour curve in the station's time zone.
- Where a live water-level sensor exists, compare observed and predicted levels. Short-lived corrections are clearly labeled estimates, not official revised NOAA predictions.
- Compare daily tide ranges and fishing outlooks in a seven-day planner.
- Where NOAA current coverage exists, confirm a separate station for your waterway to view current speed, flood/ebb timing, slack water, and the selected bin or depth. Distance alone does not establish that a station represents your waterway.
- Scan available NWS forecast hours for wind speed and direction. See onshore, offshore, and cross-shore context where a coast-facing direction is available.
- Keep NWS wave forecasts separate from current NDBC buoy observations, with buoy distance, age, and stale-data labels.
- View active NWS coastal alerts for the selected area when the app is open or refreshed. CoastCue is not a background emergency-warning service.

FISHING AND MORE
- Choose General, Moving Water, or Surf fishing outlooks.
- Moving Water uses a confirmed local NOAA current prediction when available, otherwise the local rate of tide change as a proxy.
- Surf considers available forecast waves and coast-facing wind, with labeled fallbacks when data is missing.
- Try Paddle, Beach, and Shelling profiles for other coastal activities.
- Review advisory scores, estimated best windows, solunar periods, and available conditions.
- Save private My Spots notes about access, parking, hazards, and previous trips.
- Save favorite stations and reopen recent forecasts when connectivity is poor.
- Add tide and fishing widgets to your Android home screen.
- Reopen the skippable Quick Start or Help & feedback from About CoastCue.

FREE AND PRO
The first three planner days are free. NOAA current predictions are free where local coverage exists. Observed-versus-predicted corrections are free where NOAA provides a water-level sensor.

CoastCue Pro unlocks all seven planner days, monthly tide planning, trip alerts, and My Spots. Choose an annual plan or a one-time lifetime option when available. Google Play displays the authoritative localized price, renewal terms, and any eligible introductory offer. Restore eligible purchases inside CoastCue.

PLANNING LIMITS
Fishing scores, solunar calculations, local corrections, and suggested windows are CoastCue estimates, not official government guidance or catch guarantees. CoastCue is not a navigation, depth-clearance, or safety service. Coverage varies by station. Always check the official sources, local conditions, closures, and safety guidance before heading out.
