SandBar: Surf Fishing AI

Stop guessing. SandBar reads tide, swell, wind and pressure at your beach and tells you when the bite window opens. Log every catch with the conditions that made it.

Surf fishing is mostly waiting. SandBar tells you when to stop.

It pulls live tide, swell, wind, water temperature and barometric pressure for your specific beach, then scores it for the species you're actually after. Stripers and pompano want almost opposite conditions, so one generic "fishing forecast" was never going to work. Switch species, get a different score.

WHAT YOU GET

Bite Score A 0-100 score for your beach, right now, broken down into what's driving it. Outgoing tide ripping? That helps. Water still at 48F? That hurts. Every factor is explained in plain English, so you learn to read conditions instead of just trusting a number.

7-Day Windows See the best two-hour windows for the whole week before you commit to a drive. Compare all your target species across all seven days in one grid.

Your Catch Book Every fish logs with the exact conditions that produced it: tide stage, swell, wind, water temp, moon, pressure. After a season you'll see your own patterns. Your best tide. Your best water temp. Which setup actually produces. Not somebody else's advice from a forum in 2009.

AI Fish ID Point your camera at the fish. Get the species, the confidence, and the features that identified it, so you learn to tell a weakfish from a juvenile bass yourself.

Rigs and Bait Fishfinder, high-low, dropper loop, teaser rigs, drawn out so you can tie them from the picture. Cut bait guides by region and season. Recommendations matched to tonight's conditions and the gear you actually own.

Your Spots Drop pins on satellite imagery, mark troughs, bars, cuts and rips, and compare every spot you fish by current score. Your coordinates never leave your phone. Ever.

Bite Alerts Get told 90 minutes before a good window opens. Never during a high surf advisory, a marine warning, or a thunderstorm. The safety check overrides the bite score, always.

BUILT ON REAL DATA Live tide predictions from NOAA CO-OPS, offshore conditions from NDBC buoys, and forecasts from the National Weather Service.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS The bite score is a model built on conditions data and angler knowledge. It is not a guarantee. Fish do what they want. When data is missing, the app says so instead of making something up. There's even an achievement for catching fish when the app said you wouldn't.
