Confidence, not certainty.
Physics, not pins.
Tide, current, and wind telemetry from NOAA and NDBC, turned into one field directive for striped bass — where to fish, what to throw, and exactly how sure the system is.
Current predicted tide, matched to your nearest East Coast station.
Use your location to find the nearest NOAA tide-prediction station from Maine through Atlantic Florida, including Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Block Island, and other coastal islands.
Your coordinates are used only in this browser to calculate station distance. They are not submitted to StriperApp or displayed publicly.
Nearest NOAA tide station
Allow location access to retrieve the current predicted tide phase and the next high or low tide.
Predictions use Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). Tide height is not current velocity and should never override local marine warnings or safety judgment.

Your water stays yours
No public catch maps, no live user positions, no crowdsourced "hot right now" layer.
Confidence, shown plainly
Every score ships with a confidence band, feed freshness, and station distance.
Gates before maps
Missing or stale conditions never default to "probably fine." The gate stays shut.
Surf and skiff fish differently.
The app should too.
Surf
SHORE- Slough targeting — timed to tide-stage submergence
- 9–11 ft rods — matched to breaker distance
- Night discipline — belt, cleats, red light gate the coordinates
- Wading hazard flags — wind-versus-tide, steepened break
Skiff
VESSEL- Ledge & rip targeting — from structure and sonar guidance
- 7–7.5 ft high-leverage rods — troll or jig, by current
- Vessel lockout — PFDs and signals confirmed first
- Safety suppression — opposing wind and current can override a good score
Conservation as architecture.
Slot validation
One fish per day, ≥28" to <31", measured straight-line with the tail squeezed — applied by location.
Circle hook interlock
Natural bait requires confirming inline, non-offset circle hooks, as Massachusetts rule requires.
Handling protocol
Wet hands, horizontal support, minimal air time — every landed fish, every time.
No swapping/upgrading
A retained legal fish cannot be released later in favor of a larger legal fish. The first retained fish completes the day’s one-fish limit.
A directive is a pipeline, not a guess.
A favorable score can never override a failed safety check.
Telemetry
NOAA tide and current, NDBC buoy data, NWS wind — each timestamped independently.
Safety check
Wind-versus-current and hazard rules run before any score is calculated.
FPI score
Thermal, current, pressure, and structure combine into a 0–100 estimate.
Confidence
Freshness, distance, and calibration status, scored apart from the FPI.
Directive
Structure, timing, and presentation, matched to the tackle you own.
One region, proven before it's broad.
Reliable tide coverage, both surf and skiff structure, and a small group of captains willing to tell us where the directive is wrong.
