Widgetry / Tide Clock
Tide Clock, live tides on your XENEON EDGE
Know the tide at a glance.
You're thinking about heading to the beach. Look down at your XENEON EDGE: the water there sits at the real tide height for your spot right now, a big countdown tells you how long until the next high, and the moon in the corner is tonight's actual moon.
Running live for Boston. Drag the water to scrub through the day.
What you see
- The live tide. Layered waves at the real height for your beach, so you can tell if it's coming in or going out.
- The countdown. Time to the next high or low, with its height and time, and the clock up top.
- Tonight's moon. Tap it for the month ahead: every phase, the next full and new moon, the spring tides marked, and a bar for each day's tide range.
Touch it
- Scrub through time. Drag across the water and the tide follows to any hour, then eases back to now when you let go.
- Look ahead. Tap the arrows to see a week out.
- Save your spots. Keep up to three, like your home beach, a fishing pier and a vacation town, and tap the station name to switch.
The scenery
The sky follows the real sun, from daylight to golden hour to a starry night with moonlight on the water and the odd shooting star. A lighthouse sweeps its beam after dark, or pick a harbor scene or open water. Sailboats, tugs, ferries, kayaks and the occasional rubber duck drift by. Four themes plus Custom colors.
Setup takes one line
Enter a city, a ZIP code or a NOAA station ID, or leave it blank and Tide Clock finds the station nearest you. Predictions come from NOAA for about 3,500 US stations, Maine to Alaska and Hawaii. Feet or meters, 12 or 24 hour time.
Slot sizes
Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, horizontal or vertical. See every slot's pixel size in the XENEON EDGE slot size guide.
Requirements and privacy
CORSAIR XENEON EDGE with iCUE 5.47 or later on Windows. An internet connection for the first load and to refresh predictions. US tide stations only.
Tide Clock asks NOAA (api.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov) for tide predictions for the station you pick. If you type a city or ZIP code, it sends that text to geocoding-api.open-meteo.com to find the location. If you leave Location blank, it asks api.ipregistry.co for an approximate position using the key iCUE provides. No account, no analytics, no telemetry. Predictions and settings are stored on your PC so it keeps working offline.
Questions
Which beaches does it cover?
About 3,500 US NOAA tide stations, from Maine to Alaska and Hawaii. It does not cover stations outside the US.
Can I use it for navigation?
No. Tides come from NOAA predictions and Tide Clock is not for navigation.
Does it work offline?
It needs a connection for the first load and to refresh predictions. After that it keeps the predictions on your PC and keeps working offline.
How do I add it to my XENEON EDGE?
Get it on the Elgato Marketplace. Then in iCUE, open XENEON EDGE, pick the widget in the Widgets panel and choose the slot size. Its settings appear right next to it.
