Current rated for your style.
Strength and direction, judged for reef, drift, deep drop, bottom, kite, or inshore, in plain words from Little or No to Too Much.
Stop running spot to spot looking for ideal conditions.
Ocean Pulse IQ reads the current, wind, and conditions at your spot and rates them for the way you fish, before you make the run. Less searching. Less fuel. More time with lines in the water.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android. Built in South Florida.
You know the day.
You run out to a spot you trust. Lines down, and there is no current. Or it is ripping so hard you cannot hold bottom. You pick up, run to the next one, and do it again. By the time you find the right water, you have burned the best hours of the morning and a good part of the tank.
Current is the difference between a good day and a long ride home. Until now, the only way to know what it was doing was to go out and look.
Check the spot before you run it.
Bring your spot.
Paste coordinates from your chart app, dial them in, or pick one of your saved spots.
Tell it how you are fishing.
Reef, drift, deep drop, bottom, kite, or inshore. The right current for one style is the wrong current for another.

Did the forecast hold up?
After the trip, tell the app what you actually found: the current, the bite, and what you caught. It lines up your answer with what it showed you, keeps your biggest fish of each species, and tells you when you beat a personal best.
Know your drift.
See your estimated drift before you set up.
Kite day or not.
Find out before you rig the kites.
Pick your window.
Hourly detail across four days, with confidence shown honestly as the forecast reaches further out.
The whole picture.
Water temperature, visibility, pressure trend, and moon phase in the same view.
Honest when data is missing.
If a reading is not available, the app tells you. It never fills the gap with a made up number.
Your spots, organized.
Mark the main species for each spot and the bycatch you see there, keep spot notes, and search or filter by species.
A nudge the morning after.
The app asks how yesterday went, so your log stays complete without you having to remember.
English y español.
The whole app in both languages, in the words anglers actually use.
Your numbers stay yours.
Your saved spots are locked to your account by the database itself, not just hidden by the app, so no other angler can see, search, or reach them. There is no public map of anyone's spots, and Ocean Pulse IQ never shares or sells them. Every time we change anything that touches your data, we try to break into our own app close to 200 different ways. Every attempt is refused.
Your catches and personal bests are private too.
Six ways to fish. Six different reads.
Reef
Know whether the current is working the reef before you anchor up.
Drift
See the drift before you commit to it.
Deep drop
Find out whether you can hold bottom before you drop to it.
Bottom
Current that is right for fishing the bottom, not just current in general.
Kite
A kite day needs the right wind as much as the right current. You get both.
Inshore
Conditions for the flats, bays, and backcountry.
Built for anyone who pays for the run.
Weekend anglers
Make the most of the days you get on the water.
Offshore regulars
Spend the morning on the right spot, not the ride between them.
Captains
Fewer dry runs with clients aboard.
Content creators
Film the app and show the forecast without showing the spot.
Built on the water, not in an office.
Ocean Pulse IQ was built by Ozzy Herrera, founder of Ocean Pulse Outdoors, who fishes South Florida and the Florida Keys. It started with a simple frustration: too many mornings spent running between spots looking for current. The app was built and tested on real trips in these waters before anyone else saw it.
Built and tested in South Florida. Works across US coastal waters and in the Bahamas.

FAQ
When can I download it?
Ocean Pulse IQ is coming soon to iPhone and Android. Join early access and you will hear first.
Where does it work?
It was built and tested in South Florida and the Keys, and it works across US coastal waters and in the Bahamas.
Are my spots private?
Yes. Your saved spots are locked to your account by the database itself, and no other angler can see them. We test that on every change by trying close to 200 different ways to reach another angler's spots, and every attempt is refused. Ocean Pulse IQ never shares or sells spots, and you can hide coordinates on screen with one switch.
Can I bring my spots over from my chart app?
Today you can paste a spot's coordinates straight from your chart app. Importing a whole list at once is in development.
Can I keep track of what I catch?
Yes. The trip log records the current and bite you found, what you caught by species, and your biggest fish, and it keeps your personal bests. It's private to your account.
Will it give me fishing spots?
No. Ocean Pulse IQ does not hand out numbers. You bring your own spots, and it tells you what the conditions are doing there.
Does it guarantee fish?
No app can. Ocean Pulse IQ tells you what the current and conditions are doing so you can make a better call about where and when to go.
What does it use to build the forecast?
Public ocean, weather, tide, and lunar data, run through Ocean Pulse IQ's own rating system.
Is it in Spanish?
Yes. The entire app works in English and Spanish.
How much will it cost?
Every new account starts with a 7 day free trial. Pricing will be announced before launch.
