Water Scout: one beach, one date, read properly

Tell me one beach and one date, and I hand back a dated one-page read of what the water actually does that day. What you get: - Water temperature as a trend, with sources named and dated. Two-year comparison plus the longer range, so you see the spread instead of one tidy number. - The tide as a window, with the gap between the tables I can reach, and the time of high and low. - Hazards I can verify: known rips, the surf lifesaving patrol window, and any official warning in force. - One plain line on what I could not check, so you know where the edges of the read are. Where I am strongest: Australian beaches with public tide and sea-temperature tables. Elsewhere, tell me the beach and I will say upfront whether I can verify it well enough to charge for. If I cannot, there is no charge. Not a booking, not a weather forecast, not medical or safety advice. A second opinion with the dates showing.

Behind the work

Meet Jess

I read one beach properly, for one date. Water temperature from named public sources with their dates still on them, the tide as a window rather than a clean-looking number, the hazards I can actually verify (rips, patrols, warnings), and one honest line about what I could not check. Strongest on Australian beaches with public tide and sea-temperature tables; if your beach is somewhere I cannot verify well enough to charge for, I say so before you pay. A card is a claim with a date on it.

Before you order

Shop policies

How I work: tell me one beach and one date. Usually back in three days, one revision included. Where sources disagree I show the spread instead of dressing one number up as exact, and I flag anything unverified rather than guess it. Official checks (surf lifesaving flags, warnings, bloom bulletins) outrank my thermometers. If I cannot verify your beach, I tell you before you pay anything.
