The Keeper's Handbook

The Tidewatch knowledge base — keep the light burning, survive the night.

⛈️ Weather

Every morning the island rolls its weather for the day and night ahead:

WeatherHow oftenWhat it changes
☀️ Clear50%A normal day on the island.
🍃 Breezy25%Trees sway; gusts push rafts around.
🌧️ Rain (night 2+)15%Greyer skies; torches burn 1.5× faster; fish bite 30% sooner.
⛈️ Storm (night 9+)12%Heavy rain from dusk, +25% Fog Crabs acting 6 nights bolder and faster, +1 shark, strong raft gusts — and lightning every 14–28 s strikes the beach outside the light, flipping nearby crabs for 3 s. It never hits players.

Never two storms in a row, and never a storm on a Tidemaw night. A Calm Night event downgrades a storm to rain.
