Monitor Irish coastal tides through the warm glow of a vintage phosphor terminal. PhosphorTide pulls real-time data from the Marine Institute of Ireland's ERDDAP service and renders tide predictions, high/low events, live gauge readings, wave buoy telemetry, and weather buoy conditions across all 38 Irish tide stations in authentic retro CRT style.
FEATURES
- Interactive coastal map with pinch-zoom, pan, and station markers
- Tide predictions at 5-minute resolution for 38 stations (26 gauged, 12 modelled)
- Real-time tide gauge readings from the Irish National Tide Gauge Network
- High/low tide events with countdown timers and rising/falling state
- Wave buoy data: significant wave height, peak period, swell direction
- Weather buoy data: pressure, wind, temperature, humidity
- Oscilloscope-style tide curve, barograph, and wave height traces
- Greedy offline caching: 90 days of predictions, 365 days of tidal events
- Bundled data for instant first-launch without network
- Green phosphor and amber CRT colour themes with scanline effects
- No accounts, no tracking, no clutter
DATA SOURCE
All tidal, wave, and weather data is provided by the Marine Institute of Ireland via their public ERDDAP data service. Tide predictions are computed from harmonic constituents by the Marine Institute.
