A beach's Events tab shows its events and nearby ones in one list, soonest first, with nearby ones marked. Widgets keep showing the beach you picked instead of switching to your first saved beach. If you have the plan, the Plan tab shows it as soon as the app opens. Restore Purchases also finds a plan held by your beach.report account.

Fixes, a storm notice, nearby events, and changes to trips. • Home Screen widgets and beach photos that stopped loading load again. • A beach page shows a notice when a hurricane or tropical storm's forecast cone covers the beach. • A beach's Events tab also lists events nearby. • Trips open with a photo of the beach, keep each day's last forecast, and stay under Past Trips for a year. • Tap a beach under Best Months to see each month's temperatures, waves and rain, and how it's rated. • On iPhone Duo, Best Months uses both sides when open, and the tab bar sits above the camera when folded.

New: a Plan tab for picking the best beach day and planning the trip. • Each day of the coming week is rated from Great to Poor at the beaches you save, with the best hours to go. • Tap a day to see it hour by hour, and what holds it back. • Plan a trip of up to eight days, on any dates up to a year away. Days past the forecast show how the beach usually rates that month until the forecast reaches them. • Add places near the beach to each day, like lunch or parking, and see them on a map. Tap one for its ratings, photos and hours in Apple Maps. • Add the trip to your calendar, or share or print it. • Get a notification when a saved beach has a great day coming, or when the forecast changes a planned trip's rating. • Best Months shows when each beach is usually at its best, with the usual air and water temperatures and rainy days. • Start a beach day on your iPhone Lock Screen, with UV and a reminder to put sunscreen back on. • My Beaches, the Plan tab and your trips open with no signal, showing the last readings. The Plan tab is part of an optional paid plan. Everything that was free stays free.

If you use Beach Report on a Mac, the Back, Share and Save buttons on a beach page now respond to clicks. They're in the bar at the top of the window.

Beach Report now supports iPhone Duo. Open it and Discover shows the list of beaches beside the map. The tab bar and the beach page's buttons move to the side of the screen, and the layout follows as you fold and unfold it. Turn any iPhone sideways and the tab bar moves to the side too, so it no longer covers the beach page. The Discover map has a satellite button, and it remembers your choice. Festivals and tournament weekends that run all day now show their dates, and go into your calendar as all-day events.

The Forecast tab now has a wave forecast. It shows how high the waves get each day, the period between them and the hour they peak. The new Surf Outlook widget shows the next four days of waves on your Home Screen. Both widgets have been redesigned to match the app. The beach page shows UV again, as a scale with the current reading and today's peak. Also in this update: beach photos load faster, the beach page no longer slides sideways, and the status bar stays readable when you scroll.

• Sign in with Apple or Google, and your saved beaches and units follow you between devices. Favorites still work without an account. • See what people are reporting at a beach — sargassum, jellyfish, parking, bugs, what the sky is doing — and file your own from the sand. • Find the restrooms, showers and parking, or drop a pin where you know one is. • Beach coordinator's can post what's on at your beach: cleanups, tournaments, turtle releases. A weekly cleanup is posted once and repeats. Say you're going, and add it to your calendar. • Beach photos throughout, and a faster list. * Every screen now works at the largest text sizes, and honours Reduce Motion.

YOUR SAVED BEACHES, OFFLINE • Saved beaches keep their last report on the device, so one you care about still opens with no signal — stamped with when it was read, never presented as live. A CLEARER BEACH PAGE • The eight readings now sit in reading order — air beside water, wind beside waves — two columns on iPhone, four on iPad, so each has room to breathe. • Humidity joins the band. • "About This Beach", "Plan Your Visit" and "The Basics" carry proper headings, so the page reads as sections rather than one long column. HONEST NUMBERS • Every temperature carries its unit. 26° is a warm sea in Celsius and a dangerous one in Fahrenheit, and the app no longer leaves that to guesswork — including on the widget, the watch, and shared cards, which previously ignored your Celsius setting. • UV says which reading it is showing — "UV now · peaks 9" when we have both — and never labels a current reading as the day's peak. • Conditions are stamped "As of" the time the instruments actually read, not when we fetched. If a reading is more than two hours old, the page says so. FIXES • Fixed a crash that could end a background conditions check. • Back now leaves a beach page on the first press. • The app recovers instead of giving up when the server is briefly busy at launch.

TIDES, CHARTED • Every beach page now has a tide chart — the day's tide drawn as a smooth curve with the next high and low marked and a "now" pin at the current level, plus whether the tide is rising or falling. KNOW YOUR FLAG • Tap the beach-safety flag to see why it's flying and what to do — the reason and the recommended action, not just a color. A FULLER FORECAST • A 7-day extended forecast on every beach page: highs and lows, conditions, and rain chance. • "The Next Few Hours" now sits right under the current conditions, with the tide leading into the multi-day outlook. CLEARER READINGS • Water and air temperatures now show °F or °C, so the unit is never a guess. • A tidier beach page — a cleaner sunrise & sunset line and a smoother top-to-bottom flow. A CLEARER SAFETY READ • The high-hazard label reads "Hazardous" everywhere — the same plain-English read on iPhone, Apple Watch, and widgets. • Combined flags (like red plus dangerous marine life) now show their true severity instead of a milder fallback. MORE • Follow along on Instagram and Facebook — links are on the About screen. FIXES • Fixed a bug that could silently skip hazard notifications when a beach flew a combined flag. • Fixed a crash opening Settings on Mac (Designed for iPad).

NIGHT EDITION • A warm dark mode — the field guide at dusk. Beach Report now follows your system appearance across iPhone and iPad. LIQUID GLASS • The floating tab pill and the beach-page controls pick up iOS 26's Liquid Glass, so the editorial pages shine through. BIGGER, CLEARER TYPE • Full Dynamic Type support — pick your text size in Settings and the whole field guide scales with you. SMOOTHER TO USE • More reliable, snappier tab switching, plus subtle haptics when you save a beach or switch tabs.

A COMPLETE REDESIGN — THE FIELD GUIDE • Beach Report is now a magazine: every beach reads like an editorial issue — cover photo, live stat band, tides and forecast at a glance, and the full guide beneath. • A new contents-page home with a floating tab pill — at the bottom on iPhone, right where your thumb is. BUILT FOR IPAD • The same magazine set for the big page: multi-column spreads for essentials, directories, and guides. Landscape and Split View supported. THE ATLAS • All 500+ beaches on one map on the Search page — pinch to explore, tap a pin, open its report. APPLE WATCH APP • Your saved beaches on your wrist: the safety read, water temp, wind, waves, and next tides at a glance. FULLER FIELD GUIDES • Know Before You Go essentials, entry fees, crowds, house rules, wildlife & history, parking details, nearby dining and attractions, and what to pack for today's conditions — plus a tappable, pinch-to-zoom map on every beach.

NEW • Share a beach's conditions as a ready-to-send card — flag, water and air temps, surf, wind, tide, and rip risk in one image. • Recent webcam snapshots on beach detail pages, where available. • Tap any NOAA alert to read the full advisory. • Widget upgrades: tap it to jump straight to your beach, pick your beach with search, and see the same safety read as the app. IMPROVED • Weather icons in the 5-day forecast, with better legibility. • Directions now offer Google Maps alongside Apple Maps. • Searching by state now lists every beach in that state. FIXED • Test alerts in Settings now appear. • Search styling in dark mode.
