Perigee

Shoreline conditions planner

Know when high water deserves a closer shoreline check.

For homes, docks, low roads, and routine shoreline checks, Perigee compares the next predicted high with observed water level, wind, and tide trend at a nearby station.

The result identifies the next high-water checkpoint and makes observed-water or prediction gaps impossible to mistake for a quiet read.

Start with the decision

The questions worth answering before the plan hardens.

  1. Question 01

    When is the next high-water checkpoint for the shoreline I care about?

  2. Question 02

    Is observed water already running close to the predicted high?

  3. Question 03

    Could stronger wind or gusts add local water-level context that the tide table alone misses?

What Perigee combines

One window, with the inputs kept separate.

A single score can hide the reason a plan changed. The activity read keeps each coastal input visible and marks unavailable data instead of silently treating it as favorable.

01Next high
The next predicted high tide and a focused check window around it.
02Observed water
The latest reported level for comparison with the astronomical prediction.
03Wind + gusts
Forecast context that can contribute to locally elevated water.
04Water trend
Whether station water is rising, falling, slack, or unknown.

What comes back

A result you can inspect, not a verdict.

Perigee is a planning aid. It explains the window and the state of its inputs so you can make the next check with better context.

  1. 01

    A station-local window for the next high-water check.

  2. 02

    An explainable quiet, watch, or check-closely read—not a flood forecast.

  3. 03

    Clear data gaps plus direct source context for the next verification step.

Field note

For flooding, emergencies, property protection, or road access, follow official NWS alerts and local emergency management. A nearby station may not represent conditions at your exact property.
