What is TideCast?

Your tide station, on your watch - wherever you are

TideCast finds your nearest tide station automatically and shows the next high and low, a countdown, rising/falling status, and a full-day tide curve - right on your Garmin watch. It draws on a worldwide network of over 4,700 stations, so you get accurate predictions whether you're surfing, fishing, sailing, paddling, or walking the coast.
