Tides Near Me Reviews

I’ve been using tides near me for several years now. It has been reliable, accurate, and most importantly, easy to use for planning fishing days, boat trips, and even dock building days.
It gives you a simple user interface to check tides and currents from real data stations in your area. It’s been a clutch app for planning arrivals and departures in a way to avoid arriving in the face of countercurrents that can make a normal day an upstream fight.
Even with the free version, ads are unobtrusive and fit aesthetically in the simple design. (Which hasn’t changed much in years and why would it? It’s great.)
This is a 5 star app for its design. Others fall short of its simplicity and efficiency.
Note: I was not encouraged or incentivized in any way to write this review.

I have tried several apps for watching tides and weather, but I keep returning to this one as my favorite pick. It is very dependable and helpful whether I want to walk the beach or my husband wants to watch the tides/weather/waves for fishing trips. I would highly recommend trying TidesNearMe. It's free, so what have you got to lose to give it a try??? You can always uninstall if you're not satisfied ... But I don't think you will once you see how great it works! Great app! ... 'Nuf said!!!

Great app. Generally reliable. As a professional mariner I use TidesNearMe mainly for the currents information. As far as I know there are not many tide apps that also include currents. I would gladly pay for TidesNearMe if a couple of improvements were made. 1: allow user to establish a list of their favorite current/ tide stations for quick reference instead of having to search/ scroll through listings. 2. The map feature should show all the reference stations not just those nearby. A user could quickly select their desired station by going to the map instead of again scrolling through the lists by country and state. Otherwise, simple and effective. I use it daily working aboard tugs in New England.

I use TidesNearMe daily to check high and low tide and how strong they will be. I can also use it to see the conditions in other areas to plan a trip. It doesn’t work as well internationally since fewer locations are available.

I wish it would allow long term checks to see the strongest tides over the course of the year. I’m not sure if it figures in the effects of wind speed and direction, or shifts in offshore currents. I use another app for wind, and one to determine phases and nearness of the moon.

It would be great if TidesNearMe could sends alerts for ideal conditions at selected locations.

We live on the Delaware River and apparently there's a ride station very close to my house in Edgely, PA. And so the times it says it switches, is about to the minute. We really do count on TidesNearMe a lot. My man builds sea walls and can only bring his machine (backhoe) down onto the beach to work on it, say, to lay a row of huge blocks that will form the wall, during super low tide and only for a little window at a time. We always use TidesNearMe to plan out the strategy. Hasn't let us down yet!

I have dogs that I take to the beach every day. On warm days when they can swim, the tides don’t matter as much. But when it is cool and I don’t want to wash dogs I aim for low tide and keep them away from the ocean. It also helps in planning our beach trips when it is tourist season to keep the dogs as far away from beach goers as possible. Some people just don’t like wet sandy dogs. Love TidesNearMe and use it every day.

What time today should I walk the beach? I answer this question with this great Ap since walking at high tide is annoying. Also I use this Ap to know the exact time of sunset! I can therefor plan the visit to a good location to view. Recently I used this to view areas affected by the King Tide. While visiting any coastal area, I use this Ap many times each day! Totally awesome!

Just want to say thank you!!!! I live close to the beach and sometimes do my walk partially on the beach. Because of bad knees I need to have accurate knowledge of local tides. I also recently took up kayaking and tides are also very important for where I go. TidesNearMe gives me accurate tide times and sunrise and sunset times. All very important for my exercise routine. I really could not ask for anything better!!!

Jeeze, where to start. When I wanta know what I’m going to expect to see on my bike ride on the shoreline, high tide, low, or king, it’s on the money. When I wanta know when it’s going to get dark = how much time do I have to get home, indispensable. It’s just great at connecting me with the “real” world, when I’m too busy doing stuff that makes me forget I’m on an actual planet.

This allows you to know the tide conditions for your time on or near the water. Now, later in the day or later in the week. You need to invest a little time to understand the station that represents where you are going to be. Once done you can always known the tide conditions.

On a recent trip to the Pacific NW I couldn’t decide which I liked better. The violent waves as they slammed against the massive rocks close to shore spraying a mist all over me during High tide or Low tide and a chance to explore the tide pools and the complete eco system living in them. Either way, I never missed a high or low with this handy app.

Discovered TidesNearMe while in Hawaii last month. Spot on here in Mexico this week. Told folks all day yesterday to take heed of big surf coming about 9:00 PM. Those who didn’t believe that such a calm flat sea would rise up, are the ones hunting for their beach furniture this morning. Truly indispensable for any traveler who is serious about surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, or fishing.

I use TidesNearMe daily for several locations. It has far more info than just the time for high and low tides. Right now, it does not work at all though. I just get an error message on TidesNearMe start page saying no connection (on both my iPad and iPhone).

Mostly I use Tides Near Me for local conditions here on Cape Cod for shell fishing and shoreline access. The locations on the website are positioned so that I can figure out places that are not specifically listed with some confidence. I’ve also used Tides Near Me on the West Coast. Its format is clear and it’s and easy to use. The only weakness is that you cannot advance the data farther into the future than a couple of weeks.

We not only use TidesNearMe for ourselves here at our place in Coastal Georgia, but all over the world. We just cruised around the world and without TidesNearMe , we wouldn’t have been able to keep all of our fellow cruisers apprised of tidal conditions wherever in the world we were at the time. We recommend TidesNearMe to people all the time. My wife and I both love it.

Love TidesNearMe. High tide at my beach nearly covers it all, while low tide turns it into a huge beach with lots of room to cruise for hours -- if the next high tide doesn't come in to cut off the bike route. And tides at my beach change every day, sometimes 2 high 1 low, or the opposite, or 1 of each during the daytime. TidesNearMe is so accurate I can plan my days around it!

Shows all small craft landings in my area, and gives phases of moon, rise and set of sun and moon, all very useful in planning outings, since water is very shallow at dead low on king tides, and many small bridges flood at high on a king, closing roadways. I live in the Lowcountry in South Carolina, and will use TidesNearMe on a rainy day if I have to go into Charleston, which 9 times out of 10 will flood in places on any high tide.

I sit near the ocean waves as close as I can to remember all the fun of my youth playing near , in , and on the Ocean.... digging for clams, lying in the hot sand after a good series of body surfing waves, fishing in the surf and sailing. Now I sit and reflect on all of my memories while watching others experience the joys of the ocean. The “Tides” app helps me to place my chair so I don’t get washed away.

This was my go to app for tides on the mouth of the Columbia River. Here in Astoria we go from ocean to river in short mileage, with tide changes over an hour difference in these short miles.
TidesNearMe changed about a week ago I can’t find half the tide stations that I had. Making this almost impossible to use.

Often I am disappointed with apps but this one truly delivers. I am a rower and I use TidesNearMe every week to decide best conditions for rowing. Having the magnitude of the tide shown is very helpful -- if too low or too high I can plan my row a few hours ahead of or after a particular tide. Always accurate. Great app!

It is an ok point of reference for me. But I like surf fishing?? My fifth star will be awarded when you have info on closer locations. I reside in North OC California and find the info spread too far. Example: Los Patos bridge for Huntington Beach. What?? That is partially an entrance area that devides Seal Beach from North Sunset Beach, where the US Navy docks a ship from time to time. For obvious reasons, one cannot even take a picture around there. A brige zone with 2 other beaches miles north of Huntington. Bolsa Chica and Sunset Beach. Los Patos is also way south from the next set of info for Long Beach and Los Angeles port. It would be a SIX star for me if I had info for Sunset Beach at Warner, which devides Sunset from Bolsa Chica. I have noticed that all of these Apps have the same call outs for the area. You guys have a friendly usage and practicle App. But better if it was more accurate. Trust me. Surfers and fishermen will all appreciated.

I'm addicted to kayaking. I have 5 kayaks. I kayak in the Salish Sea most weekends of the summer. I do at least one kayak camping trip each year. This is my go-to app for tides and currents. The weekly view is usually what I go to immediately. The tide tables, and, TidesNearMe, have saved my life multiple times. TidesNearMe gives you the data. I am so grateful!

It's an ok app if you never want to find out about other locations near you. But I found no way to enter a different beach/location that wasn't on the list. Also, it's Saturday today, & I want to know what tide levels are for next week. Not happening. I suppose that's because TidesNearMe only shows "the week." So if I'd like to know about tomorrow & later, I can't plan it until tomorrow (Sunday) is here. Had to go online to find the info that I wanted. Kind of messes up the reason for TidesNearMe .

Use it all the time to plan my day, whether it's a beach walk, a crabbing trip or just checking, because I'm curious.
Use it while traveling which is especially helpful, when I don't speak the language, because it gives me a kind of local knowledge that's hard to get otherwise.

TidesNearMe has been so helpful to me when inquiring about tides for my fishing areas. It could not be faster and it blows away any other method of tide timing I’ve ever seen. I have not even explored everything it does yet but am about to find out. Goody!

10,000 Stars to the creators!!

I love being able to instantly get information on local tides for today and all week. And not just tides - it provides sun and moon rise and set times as well. It is easy to find the same information for other locations as well.
