About
Tides4Fishing (by NAUTIDE) is a specialized marine and fishing forecast platform that combines tidal data with solunar theory to help anglers maximize their fishing success. The platform provides accurate tide tables including high tide and low tide times, tidal coefficients, and tide currents for thousands of locations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Beyond basic tidal data, Tides4Fishing integrates solunar charts — based on the relationship between the sun and moon — to predict peak fish activity periods throughout the day. Users can access lunar phase calendars, sun and moon rise/set times, and weekly fishing forecasts all in one place. The platform also educates users on tidal science, covering types of tides, tidal phenomena in rivers and the broader universe, and how tidal forecasts are calculated. Its solunar section explains the theory behind fish activity predictions and how solunar and tidal data interact. Tides4Fishing is available as a mobile app, allowing anglers to plan trips and share fishing days with friends on the go. Supporting over 60 languages, it serves a truly global audience — from casual weekend fishers to serious sport anglers. Whether you're fishing in coastal waters, rivers, or open seas, Tides4Fishing gives you the data-driven edge to pick the right time and place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solunar chart and how does it help fishing?
A solunar chart predicts periods of high fish activity based on the gravitational influence of the sun and moon. These periods — major and minor solunar periods — are when fish are most likely to feed, helping anglers choose the best times to cast their lines.
Is Tides4Fishing free to use?
Yes, Tides4Fishing offers free access to its tide tables, solunar charts, and fishing forecasts via its website and mobile app.
Which locations does Tides4Fishing cover?
Tides4Fishing covers fishing sites across all major regions including North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, with data for thousands of coastal and inland locations.
Is there a mobile app available?
Yes, Tides4Fishing has a mobile app that allows anglers to access tide tables, solunar charts, and forecasts on the go and share fishing plans with friends.
What languages does Tides4Fishing support?
The platform supports over 60 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, and many more, making it accessible to anglers globally.
