Online alarm clock for 3:27 pm
With an evening surf planned for calmer wind, getting ready early means setting the 3:27 pm alarm while there is still time to check the board, towel and car keys. It can mark the moment to stop watching conditions and start loading up, rather than letting the afternoon drift towards 4:00 pm. That leaves the departure tied to the forecast and the fading breeze.
Because this surf plan depends on leaving at a precise time, keep the alarm page open in the browser after setting it and leave the phone or laptop awake. If the browser is closed, the alarm will not sound and the surf departure may slip past the calmer window. The displayed countdown makes it easy to confirm that 3:27 pm is active, and the remaining time can be used for one final conditions check without repeatedly watching the clock.
Packing the car before the beach run also avoids doing fiddly jobs in lingering afternoon heat. At 3:27 pm, the cabin may still be hot from sitting in the sun, so a short burst of air conditioning while the straps and fins receive a final check makes the drive more comfortable. Keeping the board out of the airflow also prevents a loose towel or paperwork from blowing around as the car cools.
Common questions
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.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
