SafeWater App

Real-time shark activity, rip currents, undertow & water quality for any US beach or lake. Know before you go in — free during launch.

SafeWater tells you if it's safe to swim — right now, wherever you are. Search any US beach or lake, or use your current location, and get one clear answer: Safe to Swim, Use Caution, or Not Recommended — based on the single worst condition across five real safety factors. WHAT WE CHECK • Shark Attacks — historical incident data geocoded to your exact spot, not just statewide averages • Tagged Sharks Nearby — live satellite tracking from actively monitored sharks • Rip Currents — official NOAA risk forecasts, updated every 3 hours • Undertow — community-reported, since no official source tracks this separately • Water Quality — red tide, algae blooms, and bacteria levels from official state monitoring, with near-real-time coverage in FL, TX, and CA STAY AHEAD OF CHANGING CONDITIONS Save your regular spots and turn on alerts — we'll check conditions for you and send a push notification the moment a saved spot turns dangerous, before you head out. BUILT ON REAL DATA SafeWater pulls from the same official sources government agencies and researchers use — NOAA, EPA, state water-quality monitoring programs, and the Global Shark Attack File — combined with real-time reports from other swimmers near you. No account required. No ads. Just a clear answer before you go in.
