What is the WaveClock?

An Ocean of Understanding

 

Developing a Deeper Understanding of the Ocean As with anything, you learn a whole lot just by showing up and watching. WaveClocks and TideClocks bring that simple understanding directly to you. With an intuitive glance you see what’s happening in the ocean without fumbling for a computer or phone to check the same forecast the crowds follow. Join the WaveClock team and develop a deeper understanding for the ocean so you can see those perfect conditions others are missing.

NOAA Upgrades Forecast Systems This year, the NOAA global wave forecast models have performed big upgrades. These changes will allow models to provide more detail, better accuracy, and extended forecasts. At WaveClock, we are continually tracking these changes to bring you the best information! Learn More

Knowing At a Glance Three simple dials open a world of tides and waves. At a glance, you can see how the waves and tides are changing so you can see what’s happening when you really need it … Now! From reclaimed redwood wine barrels to beautiful photography from WetFeet Photography, there is a WaveClock or TideClock that suits you and your adventures to the ocean. See Them Here

Keep Surf Fit We all go through periods when we are not in the water as much as we'd like. A surf trip can ensure that you get plenty of waves. Whether it's traveling a few miles in the car, or something longer, Mark Simone has pulled together some great tips for keeping fit. Find out more HERE! The WaveClock is your gateway to the ocean. New WaveClocks with Wetfeet Photo imagery are now available. These stylish WaveClocks show you at a glance what's happening with the waves and tides at your favorite spot.  The latest ones are up on our website now! See the Latest! Surfing In an Age of Rising Seas Sea level rise will have consequences for coastal communities worldwide. People, property, infrastructure, and the coast itself are increasingly threatened by flooding and erosion. We, as ocean lovers, want to understand: how could these threats alter our waves?

Toy boats for science!

Toy boats for science! As I have learned more about the Arctic Ocean, I am seeing that the incredible range of conditions make it one of the most fascinating places on the planet. The National Science Foundation has funded researchers to study ice conditions even further with Toy Boats! By releasing 1,500 into the Arctic Ice, they were able to track motions for years.   Where does it go? While these aren't the exact toy boat tracks, the map shows historical drift tracks of buoys released from the North Pole Environmental Laboratory  each April between 2000 - 2014.  Read more about this fascinating data here. Still Time for Your Perfect Gift! The WaveClock above is made from reclaimed wine barrels made with old growth redwood. Don't worry, we're only using FSC certified reclaimed wood to ensure its all sustainably sourced. There's only a few of these unique pieces left! See Them Here See the WaveClock in Action  Happy to help. Let us know if there's any questions, comments, or questions you have!  We're happy to talk about WaveClocks, Ocean Sciences, Surfing, Fishing, Sailing, or whatever your favorite topics might be. info@thewaveclock.com
