## Description

This MCP server connects AI agents to tidal data models to help surfers predict ocean conditions. By analyzing the relationship between tide range, bathymetry, and break type, it provides precise insights. Use `calculate_optimal_tide` to find the best water level for a specific reef or sand break, `predict_wave_quality` to evaluate wave shape and energy, and `analyze_current_strength` to assess water movement hazards. It also provides a high-level overview of tidal volatility via `get_tide_cycle_summary`.

## Tools

### calculate_optimal_tide
Identifies the specific water level that provides the best surfing conditions for a given break

### get_tide_cycle_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the tidal environment for planning purposes

### analyze_current_strength
Predicts the intensity of water movement caused by the tide

### predict_wave_quality
Evaluates how the current tide stage will affect the shape and power of the waves

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the best tide level for a reef break with a 2m tide range?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal tide level for this reef break is 1.2m, which should provide excellent wave shape.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How will the waves look during a spring tide with a 3m range?
```

**Response:** 
```
During this spring tide, you can expect high energy waves with a hollow shape.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is the current dangerous right now during an ebb tide?
```

**Response:** 
```
The current is moderate and moving outward, with a low hazard level.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I find the best time to surf?**
You can use the `calculate_optimal_tide` tool to identify the specific water level that provides the best surfing conditions for your local break.

**Does this tool account for spring tides?**
Yes, the tools like `predict_wave_quality` and `analyze_current_strength` specifically use the spring tide status to adjust predictions for volatility and current intensity.

**Can I predict how strong the currents will be?**
Yes, use the `analyze_current_strength` tool to get the velocity, direction, and hazard level of the water movement.
