TideReady
Tide times. Coastal decisions.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Decisions, not tide charts. Surf, fish, swim, kite or walk - one clear answer for your spot. Safety countdowns always free. 5,000+ tide stations.
TideReady answers one question: should I go to the coast?
No tide charts. No guesswork. Open the app and get a clear, instant recommendation for your activity - whether that's a beach day with the kids, a surf session, kitesurfing, fishing, or a coastal walk.
DECISIONS, NOT DATA
Other tide apps show you numbers and charts. TideReady tells you what to do: "Tide going out. Beach is growing. Safe until 2:30pm." or "Offshore wind, 1.2m groundswell at 11s. Get out there."
Five activity modes, one answer: Beach, Surf, Kite, Fish, and Walk. Each mode weighs tide, wind, swell, and safety factors differently, then gives you a simple Good, Fair, or Poor rating with a plain-English explanation.
5 ACTIVITY MODES
- Beach: Is the beach growing or shrinking? How long do I have?
- Surf: Is it worth the drive? Swell, wind direction, and tide combined.
- Kite: Wind and tide together. Offshore wind warnings for safety.
- Fish: When's the prime fishing window? 2 hours before and after high tide.
- Walk: Is the coastal path passable? When must I turn back?
SAFETY FIRST
Walk mode shows a safety countdown: "Be off tidal paths by 12:30." Every screen shows when conditions change. Safety warnings are never behind a paywall.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Faster maps, a smarter Watch, and always clear when you're offline.
- Much faster Browse Map: it opens near you straight away, and tapping anywhere on the map finds the nearest tide station.
- Apple Watch: pick a station for each complication, and the timeline now moves forward on its own through the day.
- Know what you're looking at: a banner shows whenever you're viewing saved tide data offline, and the footer credits the provider that actually served your station.
- Fixed a crash and a missing tide chart at a few UK stations with sparse predictions.
- Cleaner tide curve: the Now marker no longer collides with high-tide times.
- iPhone Duo: unfolded, the dashboard splits into two columns either side of the hinge.
