What Sunny considers
Available inputs may include weather, wind, waves, tides, water and health information, official alerts, beach amenities, access, and travel time. Not every input is available for every beach or every hour.
How Sunny works
Clear answers, built from real evidence.
Sunny combines current conditions, beach characteristics, travel considerations, and the priorities selected by the visitor.
Ask Sunny to choose →From information to recommendation
Sunny follows the same bounded process for every eligible Florida beach and explains important uncertainty rather than filling gaps with guesses.
Freshness and confidence
Go Ask Sunny distinguishes observed, forecast, retrieved, stale-but-usable, expired, and unavailable information. Source times and important gaps are shown with the decision.
Hard stops
Closures, official alerts, unsafe conditions, or expired critical data can interrupt or suppress a recommendation. A high match score never overrides an official instruction or hard stop.
What the result means
A Sunny result is a current decision aid, not a guarantee that a beach is safe, open, uncrowded, or suitable for every person. Conditions can change quickly.
Automation
Automation retrieves and normalizes approved data, applies versioned rules, calculates matches, and creates bounded explanations. It does not invent local facts or replace official warnings and human judgment.
Official instructions always control.
Sunny supports a beach decision but does not replace lifeguards, posted flags, closures, emergency officials, or responsible authorities.
