PineCreekTides
This is a site I built to quickly check tides and weather around Pine Creek in Fairfield, CT. My goal was for local boaters (myself included) to have a clean, mobile-friendly snapshot of what to expect before heading out.
It shows:
- Live wind, air temperature, and water temperature
- Today's tide predictions
- A full 30-day tide forecast
- Hourly weather (temp, sky conditions, wind)
- Official marine reports from NOAA
All of this is pulled live from:
- NOAA Tides & Currents
- National Weather Service hourly forecasts
- NOAA's marine report text feeds
There's no backend and everything is designed for a fast-loading static site that works well on phones, built for situations where cell service is limited.
Built with:
- Vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- No frameworks, libraries, or server
