Fossil ForecastWhy Fossil Forecast, not a tide app?
We look backwards
Storms wash fresh fossils out of the cliffs — the best hunting is in the first days after a blow, once it's calm and before the beach is picked over. Weather apps only look ahead; we also check the last 72 hours, for each beach's own storm winds.
We bring you home
Every forecast gives one hard deadline — "leave the beach by 2:40pm" — plus honest cut-off warnings on the beaches that trap people every year.
One clear answer
Every morning we check the tide table, the weather, the waves and the daylight for 34 UK beaches — and turn it all into a simple answer: go or don't go, and when to leave. You don't have to check anything.
Our aim is simple: make fossil hunting feel doable — and safe — for anyone with curiosity and a free morning. No geology degree required. Read why we built this →
