Question

Fishing conditions depend on tide, wind, pressure and light all at once, and most of what gets passed around is folklore. I wanted to see the underlying conditions together rather than a single verdict.

Function

Pulls marine and atmospheric forecasts for a set of coastal points and combines them into a readable outlook, with a seven-day view, tide timing, and safety flags based on wind and sea state. Every contributing factor stays on the page rather than being collapsed into one score.

Limitation

The bite score is a heuristic, not a validated model, and it has not been tested against catch data. Safety tags are forecast thresholds rather than official marine warnings, so they are a starting point and not a substitute for checking conditions properly.
