Know where the fish are before you leave the dock.

A predictive fishing heat map for San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua — eleven species scored every morning from live satellite and ocean-model data, on a 60-mile map of your water.

Built on NOAA · Copernicus Marine · Open-Meteo — refreshed every morning.
The actual Bluewater IQ map for a real morning: the sailfish heat field over 60 miles of Pacific, surface-current arrows, range rings, and the named hotspots — North Shelf Edge, Offshore Banks, Blue Water, The Pocket, Papagayo Edge — with San Juan del Sur marked on the coast.
The real map, one real morning — sailfish, live SST heat, surface currents, and the grounds by name.

One map, eleven ways to read the water

Sailfish don't feed where snook feed. Every species gets its own scored map — sailfish, marlin, yellowfin, mahi, wahoo, roosterfish, cubera, snook, sierra mackerel, a spearfishing layer, and a combined view when you just want the best answer.

🌡️

Temperature breaks & currents

Auto-detected SST breaks — the edges bait stacks on — with live surface currents drawn over the heat, so you can see the conveyor belts.

🌊

The vertical picture

A measured thermocline with a five-day forecast, and the oxygen ceiling — how much fishable water the column actually holds today.

🚦

Departure windows

Dawn-out and afternoon-back legs rated go / marginal / no-go against a panga's real limits, three days ahead, from a multi-model wind consensus.

🌙

Tides & bite times

Tide stage and turns, solunar majors and minors, and the incoming-tide bite wired straight into the snook score.

📍

On the water

GPS track recording, waypoints, a photo catch log, anchor-drag alarm, back-to-port bearing and daylight countdown — the safety tools are free, always.

History playback

Scrub back through archived days — SST, heat, currents and conditions — and watch how the water that produced fish set up.

See it read the water

Thirty seconds of the live app: the same morning scored for yellowfin, mahi, roosterfish and the combined view — watch the answer move offshore and back inshore as the species changes.

How it works

Satellites & models overnight

NOAA sea-surface temperature, Copernicus subsurface and altimetry, Open-Meteo wind and marine forecasts — fetched and quality-checked daily.

Your water, scored

A 60-mile grid around San Juan del Sur is scored per species: temperature preference, fronts, structure, distance, season and climate state.
