Find your fishing window.

Tidal Fishin' Time combines shoreline, weather, tide, and moon information for a selected station and date, then asks an OpenAI agent to provide an overall fishing recommendation.

How it works

This page is served by a Python FastAPI application. The browser calls the app's /api/states and /api/cities endpoints to populate the station selectors, then requests /forecast/get_forecast for the selected station and date. The backend assembles the provider data and returns it to the page for display and submits to OpenAI for fishing outlook generation.

External APIs

• NOAA Tides & Currents provides tide-prediction station metadata and tide predictions.
• The National Weather Service API provides local forecast grid data and forecast periods.
• Open-Meteo's geocoding API resolves city names to coordinates and time zones.
• The U.S. Naval Observatory API provides moon-phase data.
• The OpenAI API runs the configured agent to generate a fishing recommendation from the assembled conditions.
