The spot's tide, where the schedule is decided
Tide times and the day's coefficient, at the top of the schedule — where courses get placed.
In short
- High and low tides, and the day's coefficient, appear at the top of every column of the schedule.
- The school designates a reference spot, and the tide prediction follows it.
- Data is cached per spot and per day: the same day is not recomputed a hundred times.
Where the information is useful: the schedule
Scheduling a surf lesson without looking at the tide risks sending eight beginners onto an exposed sandbank. So the information does not sit in a separate tab: it heads every day, above the slots.
Each day states its high and low tides with their times, and its coefficient. The computation runs on the school's reference spot, with its reference tidal range — two settings, not a weather station to administer.
What the cache changes
A prediction is kept per spot and per date. A day already computed is read back without another call, which makes display immediate and keeps things working when a third-party service is briefly unavailable.

Frequently asked
Is a separate weather subscription needed?
No. The prediction is computed by the app and cached per day.
Is it useful outside water sports?
It is a module: a yoga studio or an outdoor centre simply leaves it off.
