OfficialPlan NZ days with tide times and surf forecasts.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
It helps users quickly find accurate New Zealand tide times and match them with surf forecast conditions for specific beaches, turning “when should I go?” into a clear, comparable plan.
Core Features & Use Cases
- LINZ tide predictions for NZ ports: Provides official high/low tide timing for a selected port (including derived “next tides”).
- SwellMap surf forecasts for NZ breaks: Fetches no-login surf forecast snapshots such as rating, wave height, swell period/direction, wind, and optional forecast tide rows.
- Best-break comparison: Scores multiple curated breaks in a region for a target date/time window to recommend the best morning option.
Example: A user asks whether Piha is worth a drive tomorrow morning; the skill combines LINZ tide predictions with SwellMap surf ratings and wave/swell metrics, and returns machine-readable JSON for chaining into a trip itinerary.
Quick Start
Ask for LINZ tide times and SwellMap surf forecast for Piha for tomorrow morning as JSON so you can compare conditions across breaks.
