A Go/No-Go paddling forecast for your own website.

A weather link tells a paddler the air temperature and leaves out what actually decides the day: high water, wind on open water, and how cold the water is if they swim. This scores what is available for your water on your own page and shows the reasons. Paste one snippet and it rebuilds itself twice a day.

Live conditions score

Today’s Go/No-Go score for your location, or the full seven day forecast. Your choice of three layouts.

Data
Our conditions engine, rebuilt twice a day from Open-Meteo, USGS, NWS and avalanche.org
How it works, and where to paste it →

What it shows

  • The National Weather Service flood status for the river, where it has one: in flood, the card can never read Go
  • Wind and gusts, judged on a paddler’s tighter scale, because a loaded kayak or a SUP cannot power out of it
  • Water temperature where it is reported, since cold water is the real hazard
  • A seven day outlook, or a one-line badge for a sidebar

Who puts it up

Paddling and canoe clubs, outfitters and liveries, river conservancies, and campgrounds on the water.

You do not need a listing with Paddling Hubs to use it. If you have one, making it yours is free and lets you fix what visitors see when they click through.

Where to paste it

Squarespace

Edit the page, add a block, choose Code, and paste the snippet in. Leave the block set to HTML.

Wix

Add → Embed Code → Embed HTML, then paste the snippet into the Code box.

WordPress

Add a Custom HTML block and paste it in. In the classic editor, switch to the Text tab first.

Anywhere else, the rule is the same: it goes wherever your editor accepts raw HTML. Paste the whole snippet, including the plain link, which is the part that keeps working if the script is ever blocked.

Questions

Before you paste

No. Where the river has a National Weather Service forecast point, the card applies its flood status, but it never shows discharge. For the gauge number itself, the river gauge widget puts live USGS flow on your page.

Because a capsize puts you in the water, not the air. Where a water temperature is reported, the score uses it ahead of the air, so a warm afternoon over 50 degree water still reads as a cold-water day. Where none is reported, it falls back to air temperature.

It is free, with no account, no API key and no limit on how many people load it. The catch, stated plainly: the snippet includes a visible link back to us, and that link is what the widget costs you. If you would rather not link out, do not use it.

No on both. The script is about 14KB, loads asynchronously so it never blocks your page, and pulls no fonts, frameworks or tracking. It draws inside a shadow root, which is a sealed boundary: your CSS cannot reach in and its CSS cannot leak out.

No. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on the device and sends us no identifiers. It asks for one location’s data and renders the answer.
