What is your favorite website or app for coastal sea conditions like tides, wave height/frequency, wind, sea temps. etc.? Not so much weather forecasts, more sea conditions.

No tide data, but will give more detail for the next few hours. Use Navionics for tide data.

I use windfinder app (free version) from google play store. Very good for figuring out what the wind is doing.

View attachment 73322 Example for the bight.

Is that an app? I use navionics like that for lakes on my phone but have not seen a version like that.

Check out L-36.com.
Great wind information, links to NOAA reporting stations and two (pick your inlets) available tide charts.

Fisher87, I can answer that question. That is a screenshot from the Navionics Boating app on an iPad. If you have that app on your phone, you should be able to do the same thing. All you have to do is open the app, click on Weather and Tides. You should get a couple boxes, one of which is a tide box. If you tap that box, it will give you the tide info for the nearest location to you. You can change that spot, as well, if you want to.

Hope that helps a little.

Have fun!
