PR#2 live-data slice. Sunset Score & Sun & Tan are modeled forecasts — labeled, not promises or medical advice — served from a daily governed cache (no per-view fetch). Conditions: Conditions & sky: Open-Meteo (modeled, CC-BY 4.0) · Aerosol: Copernicus CAMS · Wildlife: Ocean Highways (MiCO CC-BY / OBIS / GBIF / IUCN) · Protected areas: ProtectedSeas · Inventory: OSM (ODbL) / Wikidata (CC0) · Live cams: link-outs (Windy Webcams + verified aggregators) — never embedded or restreamed. Local times are shown in each beach’s own timezone (IANA tz lookup). Tides are real hi/lo predictions (CO-OPS sensor / Open-Meteo FES2014-based, modeled). Beach orientation + open-water-sunset derived from the GSHHG coastline. Hero photo (where shown): free CC, Wikimedia Commons — credited; illustrated otherwise, never faked. Live cam, restaurant photos, sign-in, comments, check-ins and busy-ness arrive in later phases — shown as "pending", never guessed. Nothing stored in your browser.
