Online alarm clock for 8:18 am
Hand over the morning surf to your mate at 8:18 am, leaving enough time to swap a quick note about the break before your shift begins. Setting the alarm for this moment keeps the changeover clear rather than letting one more wave stretch into a rushed departure. With 9:00 am approaching, those 42 minutes can cover packing the board, rinsing off and getting on the road.
Your surf handover may pass without a sound if the alarm page is no longer active or your phone has gone to sleep, so keep both ready until 8:18 am. Choose the alarm tone for the beach around you: a softer sound can work while you are sitting nearby in a quiet car park, while a more persistent tone is easier to notice over waves, wind and conversation. Set the phone where the sound is audible but sheltered from spray and sand.
As the early morning gets busier, listen for the background noise changing around the break. Waves may still dominate near the water, but car doors, traffic and other surfers can mask a gentle alarm closer to 8:18 am. Before heading back in, raise the volume one step and place the phone near your towel or keys, where the alert will not be buried under gear.
Common questions
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
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.
