About these readings
Every reading is labelled with how fresh it is, so you always know whether it describes the water right now.
Live, saved and unavailable readings — what they mean
- Live
- The reading just arrived from the weather or tide source. Shown with a label like "LIVE · Updated 4 min ago".
- Saved
- We could not reach the source just now, so the last good reading is shown with its age, like "CACHED · Last live reading 47 min ago". We keep checking and switch back to live readings on our own.
- Unavailable
- Once a saved reading is too old to trust, it is hidden rather than shown as current. How long each reading is kept: wind, gusts and direction: 1 hour · air temperature: 2 hours · pressure: 3 hours · wave height and period: 3 hours · water temperature: 12 hours · tides: 24 hours. Nothing is ever made up — an unavailable reading is never replaced with an estimate shown as new.
