An offline tidal-current atlas for boaters, animated from NOAA ocean-model data and anchored to official current stations.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The proposed app converts NOAA's operational Salish Sea model into compact regional packs for offline use, with updates described as arriving twice daily after the model is re-simulated four times daily. Its readings combine animated map trails with station-calibrated speed and direction, flood-and-ebb curves, slack times, and an atlas-page match. The page cites 56 official NOAA current stations and an approximately 10 MB update size per region. Mobile availability is presented as forthcoming rather than verified here.
