Features
Everything the shoreline tells you
Three quiet instruments that turn a good guess into a confident plan for the coast.
Forecasts in layers
Swell, wind and lunar pull stacked as translucent layers, so you can see which one is really shaping the water today.
Learn morePool-side alerts
A gentle nudge the moment low tide starts exposing the anemone gardens — or when a king tide threatens your boots.
Learn moreHow it works
From doorstep to tide pool in three steps
Set it once — Low Tide keeps watch on the water so you can keep your eyes on the anemones.
Set your shore
Drop a pin on your beach, jetty or secret pool. Low Tide calibrates to that exact stretch of water.
Watch the water
The live meter tracks the drop in real time, so you know how much pool is left before the sea returns.

We ping you the morning the tide pulls back far enough for your spot — never earlier, never late.
Testimonials
Word from the waterline
Biologists, surfers and photographers who plan their days around the same tide you do.
I plan field sampling around the live meter now. It matches my own gauge readings at Sombrio within two centimetres.
The layered forecast tells me if the swell or the wind is running the show. I've stopped driving an hour for flat water.
Golden hour plus a minus-two tide in one alert. My anemone and starfish portfolio basically comes from this app.

FAQ
Questions from the shoreline
The things people ask us while the water pulls back.
Where does Low Tide get its data?
We blend official government tide stations with community-verified readings, then correct for your exact pin using local bathymetry. Every number shows its source and age.
Which shorelines are covered?
Every major coast in North America, plus a growing set of community-mapped pools in the UK, Australia and Chile. If your pool isn't listed yet, you can add it yourself.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. Your last sync caches the day's tide curve, and paid plans include offline pool maps that load without a single bar of service.
Can I cancel any time?
Any time, from your account in two taps. You keep access until the end of the billing period — no questions asked.
Do you show metres or feet?
Both. Switch units in settings and we'll remember your choice across alerts, widgets and printed tide tables.
