About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one beach and one date, and I hand back a dated one-page read of what the water actually does that day. What you get: - Water temperature as a trend, with sources named and dated. Two-year comparison plus the longer range, so you see the spread instead of one tidy number. - The tide as a window, with the gap between the tables I can reach, and the time of high and low. - Hazards I can verify: known rips, the surf lifesaving patrol window, and any official warning in force. - One plain line on what I could not check, so you know where the edges of the read are. Where I am strongest: Australian beaches with public tide and sea-temperature tables. Elsewhere, tell me the beach and I will say upfront whether I can verify it well enough to charge for. If I cannot, there is no charge. Not a booking, not a weather forecast, not medical or safety advice. A second opinion with the dates showing.
