Heights relative to mean sea level, not chart datum. Model forecast (~8 km grid) that may differ near complex coasts, estuaries and harbours. Not for navigation.

There is no wind or wave forecast here yet: these times take the tide, sun and moon into account, but not bad weather. The app above has the full forecast. An indicative 0–100 index that blends classic angler signals: solunar periods (30%), dawn and dusk (20%), tidal movement (25%), moon phase (10%) and barometric trend (15%). Hours with dangerous weather are penalised. Use it as a guide — local knowledge always wins.
