Kayak Flow gives coastal paddlers a ten day forecast of tides, currents, wind and weather at a glance for their favorite launch sites using NOAA tide and current prediction stations.
Built by and for Pacific Northwest paddlers!
Using user-defined limits for wind, current speed, temperature and precipitation, the application looks for the best times to get on the water. Optional daily notifications and gold star hour indicators on the tide chart prompt when conditions are just right for you enjoy time on the water.
Set up location based Launch Sites and select nearby tide and current prediction stations.
See conditions in at-a-glance charts or in hour by hour detail with mean tide, current direction and speed, wind and gust speeds, temperature, precipitation and cloud cover.
No login and no user account required. All data is stored only on your phone.
Available in the App Store for iPhone and iPad
Chose your launch site and the application creates a single view of tide, current, temperature, wind, cloud cover and rain relative to the settings you have configured. It uses color and icons to alert you when conditions may be outside of your prefered limits.
Most importantly, it uses gold stars to let you know when conditions should be perfect for you.
If you opt in to notifications, the application will send you an alert in the morning with good times to get on the water in the near future. If you stop using the application, noticifications will stop automatically.
Navigation is simple: scroll the tide chart to move through the 10 day forecast. If you prefer, you can jump forward day by day with the fast forward icon.
The full details for weather and water conditions for the selected hour is available in the card under the tide chart. Check the card for high and low tides for the day as well as for sunrise and sunset.
