Sydney and Bonaire lie beyond the number’s reach — US toll-free texts don’t cross the border reliably in either direction. Those bells ring by app, from their own pages on the board.

Ask the bell

Text FORECAST at any hour and the bell answers with your water’s week ahead — the best day first, in plain words, then each day scored out of ten — read from the same instruments the site reads. Name a water to ask about another coast: MAUI FORECAST answers for Maui without moving you off your own bell.

The Wednesday forecast comes with the bell — you don’t have to ask. Prefer only the rare mornings? Text BELL ONLY and the bell speaks only when it rings. FORECAST brings Wednesdays back.

After a dive

Text back one word — REEF if you saw the whole thing, BUDDY if you could see across the reef, FINS if you couldn’t. That’s how the bell learns its water. It has never been in the ocean; you have.
