Pre-Programmed Tide Data for 550 Beaches
Stop guessing swell windows. The Nixon Base Tide Pro carries pre-programmed tide information for 550 beaches across the globe, displaying high and low tide times, tide height, and sunrise/sunset data directly on your wrist. Whether you are at your home break or paddling out somewhere new, the information you need is already loaded and ready.
The display toggles between a visual tide graph and date view so you can read conditions at a glance without navigating menus. A marked numeric scale along the bottom of the screen puts tide height in context the moment you look down.
Built to Go in the Water
The fiber-reinforced polycarbonate case holds up to the demands of an active surf session. Water resistance extends to 100 meters (10 ATM), and every pusher on the watch maintains that resistance so you can navigate functions mid-session without removing it from your wrist. Nothing about the Base Tide Pro asks you to hold back.
Comfort and Security on the Wrist
The soft-touch silicone band is ventilated along its length for added airflow and all-day wearability. Nixon doubled up its patented Locking Looper clasp on this model, giving you a second layer of security that keeps the watch firmly in place from dawn patrol through a post-session rinse.
Full Feature Set
Beyond tide data, the Base Tide Pro adds the everyday functions surfers and active users rely on: a chronograph timer, three independently programmable alarms, a backlight for pre-dawn check-ins, and a date display. The custom digital module was designed specifically for this watch, with clarity and in-water readability as the primary brief.
Design Philosophy
Nixon built the Base Tide Pro around three words: clear, informative, and comfortable. Every element that did not serve a functional purpose in or near the water was removed. What remained is a watch that carries more useful data in a cleaner, more wearable package. Available at Island Water Sports in store and online.
