Does it have a tide chart, not just a table?

Yes. The home screen is a full 24-hour tide chart with a marker for now and every high and low tide. People told us "no graphs = not very useful", so the graph comes first.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Tide times are calculated on your phone from harmonic constants, so it works on piers, boats and beaches with no signal. No account or sign-in.

Can I see more than the next five days?

Yes. The calendar shows the first high tide for every day of the month, and you can swipe the chart to any date.

Is there a 12 hr time option?

Yes. Choose 12-hour or 24-hour time, feet or meters, and MLLW or mean sea level in settings.

Will it show tide changes when in different areas or countries?

Yes. About 8,700 stations across the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Australia and more, each shown in its own time zone with daylight saving handled. Korea is not covered yet.

Can I save my favourite place and local beach?

Yes. Star any station and switch between favorites with one tap. The widget shows the next tide for your favorite.

Can I use it for navigation?

No. Ebbline shows predictions only and is not for navigation. Predictions do not include weather, storm surge or river flow.

Yes. Every feature, including alerts and the widget, is free and supported by ads.

Best time to fish by tide

Many anglers aim for moving water: the one to two hours either side of high tide, and the first hours of the falling tide. Slack water at the very top or bottom has little current, while a running tide moves bait and tends to bring fish in. Spots and species vary, so treat this as a starting point.

Tide phases and fishing

Phase	Current	Typical approach
Mid rising to before high	Strong, easing	Piers, jetties, rocks with more depth
High slack	Very little	A good time to rest or move
Early falling	Building again	Channels, inlets, river mouths
Low tide	Weak	Scout structure, flats and holes

Spring tides (near full and new moon) have a bigger range and stronger current; neap tides (near half moon) are gentler.

A quick pre-trip check

Open today's tide curve for the nearest station.
Note high and low tide times and pick the two or three hours of moving water.
On flats or rocks, set the start of the rising tide as your time to leave.

How Ebbline helps

Ebbline shows the day's curve, high and low tide times and whether the tide is rising or falling, with free alerts 15, 30 or 60 minutes before the tide turns. It works offline, so fishing tides load on the pier with no signal. Predictions only, not for navigation.
