Online alarm clock for 5:24 pm
You’re handing the evening surf over to a mate as the wind drops, so a 5:24 pm alarm can mark the moment you need to swap places, pass on conditions, or head back towards shore. Setting it now also leaves a clear boundary before 6:00 pm, without relying on a hurried glance at the time while everyone is getting organised.
With boards, towels and gear changing hands, headphones can quietly take the alarm sound away from the phone speaker. Check where the audio is going before leaving the phone nearby, and raise the volume enough to hear it over the water and conversation. The alarm cannot cover your surfing handover if you close the page or allow the phone to sleep, so keep it active until 5:24 pm and use a separate backup when missing the changeover would matter.
As the late-afternoon glare softens, checking a bright screen against the dimmer beach can feel abrupt. Set the alarm before your hands are wet or sandy, then lower the display brightness to suit the fading light and place the phone where the screen is shaded but visible. At 5:24 pm, one quick look should confirm the alert without keeping your eyes fixed on the display while the wind and water conditions are changing.
Common questions
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.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
