Tides in Forecast Bar, in short
- On screen
- Tides are a selectable data point, so they can sit in your main screen tiles next to temperature, wind and UV.
- King tide alerts
- Notify you about exceptionally high tides, when coastal flooding is possible at low-lying spots.
- Low tide alerts
- Notify you about big daytime low tides — the windows worth planning tide-pooling or beachcombing around.
- Elsewhere
- Tides can also appear in widgets and Apple Watch complications.
- Alongside
- Wind speed, gusts, direction, pressure and visibility are in the same view — the things that decide whether it's a good day on the water.
- Plan
- Tide alerts are part of Forecast Bar Gold on iOS and Pro on Mac.
Not every tide is news. These two are.
King tides
Exceptionally high tides, when coastal flooding is possible at low-lying spots. Worth knowing about if you park, launch, or live near the waterline.
Big low tides
Big daytime low tides open a window for tide pools and beachcombing that only comes around occasionally — and it's easy to miss if nobody tells you.
Tides next to the conditions that decide the day.
Tide time on its own rarely settles anything. Whether it's a good morning depends just as much on the wind, the gusts, the pressure and whether the fog is going to lift — all of which are already on the same screen in Forecast Bar.
- Tides as one of your main-screen data point tiles
- Wind speed, gusts, and direction alongside
- Pressure trend and visibility for fog
- Sunrise, sunset, and first and last light for the daylight window
Tides on a watch face, where you'd actually check them.
Nobody standing on a beach wants to unlock a phone. Tides can be a complication on your Apple Watch face, alongside whichever other conditions you've chosen.
- Tides as an Apple Watch complication
- Circular, corner, inline, and rectangular complication families
- Alongside wind, UV, pressure and air quality
- Values advance through the day from a single timeline
