Launch sites & wind direction
Stack any filters you need. Missing, expired, or conflicting facts are excluded. Launch-depth timing uses the current NOAA tide check and a recorded put-in threshold; route and tunnel windows stay out until separately verified.
Compare launches
Choose two to four permanent launches. The current decision and evidence age stay ahead of grades and convenience details.
Plan around the hours you actually have
Choose a Florida time window for today or tomorrow. Sun Coast will show every permanent launch using hourly wind, gust, chop, tide, regional rain and UV, and the accepted snapshot already on the page. Future conditions are not ranked or graded.
Today is short-horizon guidance. Tomorrow is lower-confidence planning from one forecast run and must be rechecked before launch. Current alerts, source gaps, closures, and launch-specific tide bars stay in charge. This does not verify parking, gate hours, drive time, or what the water will actually do.
Check another spot
Search for a waterfront place, enter coordinates, paste a map link, or choose a point on the map. You will get today’s estimated paddle rating without creating an account or saving the location.
Conditions ratings cover points near the current Crystal River to Siesta Key directory. Float plans can still use any valid point. Search only when you submit, not as you type. Do not enter a home address or private information.
Check this spot later
Pick today or tomorrow and a Florida time. Sun Coast will show the one-hour wind, gusts, chop estimate, tide, regional rain and UV, and safety warnings around that time. Future conditions are not ranked or graded.
This is an hourly model forecast, not a promise about the water at that exact minute. Tomorrow is always lower-confidence planning. Recheck alerts, access, current, heat, and the actual launch before you go.
