What's on the map

Everything you need to read the water.

Live NDBC + CO-OPS data

Wind, waves, water temp, barometric pressure, tide phase. Hover any buoy or tide chip for a quick reading; click for the full card with pressure-trend interpretation.

Slack-water now

Pulse rings on every tide station currently at the turn — the peak bite window for snook, calico, sheepshead, tog. Plus minutes-to-next-high-or-low.

48 conjunctions

Named places where conditions converge — tide rips, inlet flushes, river plumes, Gulf Stream color lines, depth breaks. Pick a fish, the right ones glow gold.

26 shipwreck stories

Andrea Doria, USS Monitor, Spiegel Grove, the 1715 Plate Fleet. Each wreck carries the history plus the species that hold to it today.

45 charter operators

Public listings of established US saltwater charter docks, color-coded by region. Editorial only — Channelwake takes no commissions.

40 tournaments

White Marlin Open, Big Rock, Bisbee's, CCA Texas STAR, MV Striper Derby. Dated, purse-sized, linked to entry.

Forecast, not fish detection. Channelwake estimates where conditions favor a species using live NOAA data and a transparent scoring model. We can't tell you exactly where the fish are — nobody can — but we can tell you where the water is doing what those fish like.
