## Description

Driftline tells you how dangerous the water is right now — and how it will change through the day — so you can pick the safest time to get in.

Built for beachgoers, swimmers, surfers, and families, Driftline pairs the National Weather Service's rip-current outlook with NOAA tide and water-temperature data in a calm, glanceable design.

WHAT YOU GET
• Rip-current risk on a clear four-step scale — Calm, Moderate, High, Severe — with plain-language guidance
• A live tide curve with the next high and low, plus water temperature, waves, and wind
• Hourly outlook — tide, swell, and risk through the day
• A coast map: search any U.S. beach and jump straight to its conditions
• Active National Weather Service rip-current alerts
• A built-in rip-current safety guide

DRIFTLINE PRO — one-time $4.99 unlock
• Rip-current risk alerts when the water climbs to High or above
• Tide reminders before the next high and low
• Unlimited saved beaches
The forecast and current risk are always free. One-time purchase, no subscription.

DATA
Rip-current risk and alerts come from the U.S. National Weather Service (weather.gov). Tides and water temperature come from NOAA Tides & Currents. No account required, and no personal data collected.

SAFETY
Driftline is an informational forecast, not a substitute for posted warnings or lifeguard instructions. Conditions can change quickly — always heed local signage and swim near a staffed lifeguard tower.
