One Green / Yellow / Red verdict the moment you open the app — built from live wind speed and gusts, current weather, and active NOAA advisories. Right below it: tides, sunrise, water quality, a community map of launches and hazards, and the paddling rules for your state.
Informational only — verify with NOAA / Coast Guard before going on the water.
The information you actually need before getting on the water — no vessel reports, no commercial-fishery noise, no eight-tab workflow.
One verdict, the moment you open the app — Great Conditions, Use Caution, or Dangerous. Built from live wind speed and gusts, current weather, and active NOAA advisories — and honest about what it can't tell you.
Switch between mph, knots, and km/h; compass heading, Beaufort number, and a 3-day paddle forecast so you can plan around the weather window (Pro extends it to 7 days).
NOAA tide predictions for the nearest US coastal station. Know your launch window before you load the kayak.
Community-built map of put-ins with aerial views, amenity badges, and one-tap directions. See the ramp before you drive an hour.
Community-submitted dams, strainers, and dangerous currents on the map. Unverified by PaddleReady — always check yourself.
Federal PFD / whistle / VDS requirements plus state-specific rules for 30 states. GPS-aware lookup, no login, no paywall.
Four tabs — Conditions, Launch, Safety, About — and no account required to use any of them. Anonymous by default.
PaddleReady detects your location and pulls live conditions from Open-Meteo, NOAA, USGS, and OpenStreetMap.
Green is Great Conditions, Yellow is Use Caution, Red says stay ashore. Tap the badge for an honest explanation of what the score is — and what it can't tell you.
Open the Launch tab for the community-built map of put-ins, with satellite view, amenities, hazard pins, and reviews. Tap for directions.
Every launch point shows a satellite aerial view, amenity badges (parking, restrooms, potable water), paddler reviews, and one-tap directions.
For the paddler who's on the water often enough to want offline mode and the extended forecast. The free tier stays fully functional — it's supported by a single non-personalized banner ad on the Home and Launch Points screens, and Pro removes all ads.
Trip Check-In — a planned-trip reminder with a single overdue alert to a trip contact — is coming soon; we're running a full beta of its alert email before it ships. The free tier gives you the full conditions dashboard, the launch map, and the regulations screen, supported by non-personalized banner ads — Pro is for the extras above, with no ads at all.
