Ebbward

The water, before you're in it.

A calm look at waves, wind, tide and water temperature for five Laguna Beach places, with where every number comes from and how old it is.

Read the ocean from the top down.

Ebbward is laid out the way the water is. Choose a layer to see what it shows and where the number comes from.

When we don't know, we say so.

Many ocean apps fill every box with a number or a score. Ebbward leaves a gap where the data runs out.

Visibility: unreported

No model can measure how far you'll see underwater. Until someone reports from Laguna, it stays blank.

Every number has an age

Each source carries its time. Old readings lose their live label, and gaps in a forecast stay empty.

Offshore, not the shorebreak

Wave height is modeled out at sea. Reefs and coves change what reaches the sand, and Ebbward says so.

Five places to start.

From Crescent Bay to Treasure Island. They share one regional forecast for now; pick the one you're headed to.

    Free where it matters.

    Conditions, sources and official guidance stay free. A membership may come later for people who plan often; nothing is for sale.
