Forecast for oyster farms
The water decides. Now you do too.
Tidekeep folds your NOAA tide gauge, the wind on the lease, and the state's shellfish closure map into one forecast — the hours it is safe and legal to harvest, with the harvest tag already written.
01 — The problem
One missed closure sends a week's harvest back to the bay.
A 24-hour rainfall closure can shut a two-person crew off the flat with no notice. Harvest during a Vibrio advisory and the product gets dumped — and the state fines the ticket. Miss the safe window and the bags sit wet-stored, losing shelf life by the hour.
"The wind turned while we were on the flat. We watched a morning's work go back over the rail."MARA HOVLAND — SAMISH BAY, WA
02 — How it works
Three gauges in. One window out.
Tidekeep reads the same signals you already watch, then does the cross-checking for you before first light.
03 — The forecast
A window you can read at 5 a.m.
The tide curve, the closure status, and the clock that matters — all on one screen, before the crew even wakes.
04 — The paperwork
The harvest tag writes itself.
Every harvest auto-generates the NSSP time-temperature log: time out of water, time to refrigeration, area, and harvester. Signed, stamped, and exportable when the inspector asks.
