Seaside Index | Ocean Viewing Mini Program
观海指数小程序
"Seaside Index Mini" is VoyBird's ocean-viewing decision tool for domestic coastal areas and popular outbound destinations. Provides live cameras and real-time imagery so ocean lovers can check coastal conditions before heading out — tide forecasting not included. Scan to use in WeChat — free with no sign-up, so every ocean visit is well planned.
What it is
The ocean-viewing index mini-program is a WeChat mini-program under development by VoyBird. It turns "is the sea worth looking at today" into an index you can check inside WeChat, focused on domestic Chinese coasts and beaches frequented by Chinese outbound travelers.
It has not launched yet. Once available, the mini-program code and entry will be updated on this page.
How it differs from the Seaidx website
The Seaidx website (https://seaidx.com) centers on tide forecasts, satellite ocean color and a five-level viewing index for beaches worldwide. The mini-program focuses on Chinese coasts and popular outbound destinations, led by live camera imagery so you can see the actual sea surface at a glance.
The mini-program is planned without tide tools. For tides, continue to use the Seaidx website or official tide tables from local marine authorities.
How to get it first
Once launched, search "观海指数" in WeChat or scan the code on this page. To try the related features today, use the Seaidx website.
About the data
How the index and imagery are built, their coverage and refresh cadence follow the in-app notes. The viewing index is a pre-departure reference, not safety advice; follow local marine and weather authorities for any in-water activity.
FAQ
- When will the ocean-viewing index mini-program launch?
- The mini-program is in pre-launch preparation and not yet available. This page will be updated with the entry as soon as it ships. For now, use the Seaidx website (https://seaidx.com) for tides and the viewing index.
- What is the difference between the mini-program and the Seaidx website?
- The website covers beaches worldwide with tides, satellite ocean color and the viewing index; the mini-program focuses on Chinese coasts and popular outbound destinations with live camera imagery, and omits tide tools. They complement each other — check website tides before beachcombing.
- How do I judge sea conditions before a coastal photo trip?
- Check weather and wind first, then tide timing (which shapes mudflats and waves), then ocean color and clarity. The Seaidx viewing index combines these as a reference; safety follows local marine and weather authorities.
