- It says it leaves visibility blank when nobody has reported it for a beach, rather than estimating how far someone can see underwater.
Field notes
Ebbward describes combining modeled, predicted and observed ocean data, with a source and age attached to each number. Its beach records are meant to use an individual forecast point and the nearest NOAA tide station or buoy only when one is close enough; the page says it will disclose when those sources are distant. The project identifies Laguna Beach coves as its starting case study and names Main Beach as an example to try.
