KayakSafe

Know before you launch: hourly Ideal/Caution/Avoid safety ratings, NWS alerts, and now tide info for coastal and tidal areas.

KayakSafe answers the one question that matters before you launch: is it safe to paddle right now?

Built for kayakers and paddlers, KayakSafe turns the raw forecast into a clear, safety-first read on your water conditions, hour by hour, so you can decide with confidence instead of guessing.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

• A simple Ideal / Caution / Avoid rating for every hour of the day
• Wind speed, gusts, and storm probability weighted as safety-critical, because that is what flips a calm paddle into a dangerous one
• Wind chill and heat index factored in for cold-water risk and comfort
• Severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service, grouped by severity so the important ones stand out

SET YOUR OWN LIMITS

• Every paddler's comfort level is different, so KayakSafe lets you set yours
• Adjust the thresholds for wind, gusts, storm chance, and temperature right in Settings
• The Ideal / Caution / Avoid ratings recalculate to match what YOU consider safe, whether you are a cautious beginner or a seasoned paddler

PADDLING MODE

• Turn it on before you put in and KayakSafe keeps watch
• Adaptive condition checks and an auto-timeout remind you when the weather is turning
• Set your own timeout, auto-off at sunset, and alerts only while you are on the water

BUILT TO BE SIMPLE

• Auto-detects your area, no account and no sign-in required
• Clean dark theme designed to read in bright outdoor light
• A 7-day outlook and tappable hourly detail for planning the whole trip

A LITTLE EXTRA FOR ANGLERS Fish from your kayak? KayakSafe also includes a daily bite forecast with solunar windows and simple lure and bait suggestions. It is a bonus, not the point. Safety comes first.

KayakSafe is an informational tool to help you plan. It is not a substitute for your own judgment, local knowledge, or official warnings. Always check current conditions and paddle within your ability.
