This Actor is compatible with Apify's MCP server, making it callable by AI agents and applications. An agent can:
- Search for beaches near a location

- Get tide predictions for surf-timing questions
- Compare Beach Day Scores across multiple nearby beaches

💰 Pricing
This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing based on the operation type:
| Tier | Operations | Price per result |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Search Beaches, Tide Predictions, Beach Rules, Beach Amenities | $0.005 |
| Heavy | Beach Detail, Top Scored Beaches, Beach Conditions | $0.01 |
Results are counted per row pushed to the dataset. A search returning 25 beaches = 25 result charges. A single beach detail = 1 result charge.
📝 Notes
- Data is as-is from authoritative public sources. Always verify critical conditions through official channels.
- Beach Day Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores = better beach-going conditions.
- Tide data availability depends on the beach's nearest NOAA/regional tide station.
- Water quality monitoring schedules vary by state and country — some beaches refresh daily, others weekly.
