chapadão
pipa in your pocket, painted live
should you paddle out? a verdict, not a wall of numbers — for praia do amor, praia da pipa and madeiro, from live swell, wind and tide.
three independent wave models, one honest answer. when the models disagree, the app says so instead of pretending to be precise. rate what you actually saw and it re-tunes each break to your eye.
every beach and place is a hand-built painting that follows the real sun over pipa. the cliffs catch first light at dawn, glow at sunset, and the natural pools at praia do amor fill and drain with the tide.
- flat day
- where to go instead — baía dos golfinhos, the natural pools, the chapadão viewpoint, sunset at guaraíras, the dunes. ranked by what's possible right now; several only exist at low tide, and the app knows when.
- pipa passport
- every place is a page. stamp it — but only while you're standing there. gps decides, so every stamp is proof you went.
- the local layer
- bars, kiosks and restaurants the way locals see them: real menus, which night has live music, what's open now.
- on the beach
- a home-screen widget shows the verdict. the last forecast is saved on the phone, so it works with no signal. no account, no ads, no tracking.
chapadão is the high red-cliff plateau above pipa's beaches — its cliffs catch the first light every morning, and the app paints them doing it.
