What is PaddlePoint?

PaddlePoint is a free, real-time conditions checker built for paddlers — kayakers, stand-up paddleboarders, canoers, and anyone who loves being on the water. Just tap a spot on the map and instantly get a detailed breakdown of conditions at that location.

What We Show You

• Paddle Score — An overall 0–100 rating of current conditions
• Wind — Speed, gusts, and direction with a live compass
• Waves & Swell — Wave height, period, and direction for coastal spots
• Tides — Current tide level and upcoming high/low times from NOAA
• Weather — Temperature, UV index, visibility, and precipitation
• Water Quality — Based on monitoring station data where available
• Hourly Forecast — See how conditions change throughout the day

How It Works

PaddlePoint does not generate, create, or verify any weather or conditions data. It is a data aggregator that collects and displays publicly available information from established third-party sources. All data is fetched directly from public APIs in real time within your browser.

Open Source & Free

PaddlePoint is and always will be free. There are no ads, no premium tiers, and no data collection. We believe paddlers should have access to safety-critical conditions data without barriers.
