Online alarm clock for 5:25 pm
You have only just woken at 5:25 pm, so the evening surf is still an idea rather than a plan. The wind is easing, but there is no need to rush straight out half-awake. Setting the alarm for this time gives you a clear point to sit up, check the local conditions and decide whether the session is worthwhile. There are 35 minutes before 6:00 pm, enough to get your board and gear together without turning the afternoon into a scramble.
Your surf session depends on the alarm being audible when preparation should begin, so the device needs attention before you settle back. A phone or laptop that enters sleep mode ahead of 5:25 pm cannot play the browser signal. If this page is no longer open, the alarm also disappears, which could leave the surf gear untouched while the remaining light slips away. The device can stay connected to power with its sleep setting adjusted for the short wait, and the chosen tone should be checked at a volume that carries across the room.
An evening paddle can fit comfortably into the day when the commitment after it has a fixed boundary. Working backwards from that next appointment leaves room for changing, packing up and travelling home, instead of treating 6:00 pm as unlimited spare time. A separate return-time reminder can protect that buffer, particularly when the water is enjoyable and the afternoon has already moved on faster than expected.
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.
