Live tide data right on your activity screen - current height, the next high or low with a countdown, and a colour-coded tide curve. The free data field that runs while you do.
The tide, on your activity screen - not a separate app to open
TideCastDF is a Garmin data field: it drops straight into your activity data screens, so you see the live tide while you run, ride, paddle, sail, surf or fish - no need to leave your activity. It shows the current tide height, whether it's rising or falling, the next high or low with a live countdown, and a mini tide curve. It even records the tide height and the time of day into your FIT file, so you can see exactly what the water was doing at every point of your activity in Garmin Connect. It's free, and the companion to the full TideCast widget.
Read the water without breaking stride
Current height with a rising/falling arrow, and the next high or low with a live countdown - right alongside your other activity metrics.
Use the full view, or choose a single big value - countdown, current height, next tide, rising/falling, next high or next low - to sit in one slot of a multi-field screen.
A mini curve with time-labelled high (red) and low (blue) dots and a now-marker, so you can see the shape of the tide at a glance.
Logs tide height and the actual clock time to your FIT file - so in Garmin Connect you can see the tide, and the time of day, at every point of your activity.
Fetches predictions near your phone, then interpolates locally with pure math - no phone or signal needed during the activity. Leave the phone on shore.
Finds your nearest station via GPS or Garmin Weather, or pin any station by postcode, ZIP or station code. Colour-blind-safe colours; 7 languages.
