Online alarm clock for 1:24 am
Before handing the dawn surf run to your mate, set the 1:24 am alarm and confirm that the board is already secured in the car. A clear handover now means they know where the keys, leg rope and wax are, while you can finish your shift without relying on a sleepy message later. There are 36 minutes until 2:00 am, enough time to pass on any change in the tide plan.
Your surf gear may be ready, but the alarm still needs to cut through whatever is happening around you. Raise the volume, play a quick test and keep the phone close rather than under clothing or paperwork, where the signal can be muffled. This browser alarm cannot sound after its page is closed or the phone is allowed to sleep, which could leave the surf handover unfinished. Background audio, a running fan or road noise outside can also mask a quiet tone.
When your mate takes over at 1:24 am, harsh light can make it harder to find small items without waking everyone nearby. Leave a dim cabin light or torch beside the car keys before settling down, and reduce screen brightness while keeping the alarm visible. That gives enough light to check the board straps and gather gear, without fumbling through a dark driveway before the Australian dawn begins to lift.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
