Florida Gulf coast fishing weather, tides and radar

Salty Forecast is a free hyperlocal weather app built for people who fish and boat the Florida coast — from Crystal River down through Englewood, Boca Grande and Naples to Key West, plus St. Augustine on the Atlantic side. Every town gets its own live view: NOAA tide predictions, hourly wind and gusts, water temperature, offshore swell, animated radar, storm risk and the latest state red tide samples, in one page with no ads and nothing to sign up for.

The part most weather apps skip is the part that decides whether you go: whether the water is moving, whether the wind is fighting the tide in the pass, and when the bite windows fall. That is scored here for the next seven days from tide movement, wind, seas, sky, barometric trend and the moon — and every score explains itself.
