The tide
Three days, from the same predictions the forecast reads. Shaded: the dawn and dusk windows.
Water temperature
The weather model's sea-surface temperature: four days past, three ahead (dotted), today marked. Where a pier or NOAA station measures the water, that reading is the card under Right now.
The water, mapped
Gold: the coves the bell names this week. Filled: placed where USGS place names and OpenStreetMap agree; hollow: one source. Blue: the instruments this bell reads, with their distance. The arrow: the week's best swell, arriving from its direction.
The coves
Shark's Covenamed this week 25 ft · lava-rock puzzle at the north end · caves and arches left of the cove mouth; summer water only · best at mid-high tide
Three Tablesnamed this weekrang here October 22, 2026 30 ft · sand between the table rocks · the tables' seaward walls; turtles on the ledges
The instruments
buoy 51201, tide station 1612340, water 79F now (the bell wants 62F or warmer).
When it rings: summer mornings, when the winter giants are half a world away. In its casting against years of this water, 23% of mornings reached 7. Rings since casting: 1.
