OceanView Tab

Ocean photography on every new tab, plus optional live tides, swell, wind, water temp and reef heat stress for your spot.

The ocean, every time you open a tab. OceanView Tab replaces your new tab with photography from the Ocean Image Bank, each image credited to the photographer who shared it. Or add your own dive and surf photos, uploaded from your computer or linked from the web. Know the water before you’re in it Add a small glass dashboard for your dive site or surf break, and show only what you care about, in the order you want: Conditions: water and air temperature, waves and wind, at a glance Tide: a 24-hour tide curve with the next high and low, in your site’s local time Surf: primary swell height, period and direction, wind swell, offshore or onshore wind, and a 3-day swell outlook Current: surface current speed and direction Sunrise and sunset Moon: phase, illumination and spring/neap tides UV index Reef heat stress: NOAA Coral Reef Watch bleaching alert level and Degree Heating Weeks Made for how you use the ocean A quick setup asks whether you dive, surf or just want the photos, and arranges everything to match Save up to 8 sites (home break, local reef, dream trip) and switch between them with one click Find your spot by name, from beaches and coves to reefs and towns, then drop a pin on satellite imagery or a seafloor map Drag the dashboard anywhere, or minimize it to a small bubble Optional clock in any corner, and a brightness control so the dashboard stands out on any photo Metric or imperial units; wind in knots, km/h, mph or m/s Clean and private No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your settings stay in your Chrome profile, and uploaded photos never leave your computer. The extension only uses your site’s coordinates to fetch conditions for that spot. Data sources Weather and marine data: Open-Meteo. Reef heat stress: NOAA Coral Reef Watch. Maps: Sentinel-2 cloudless (EOX), Google Maps and the NOAA NCEI bathymetry mosaic.
