Is CoastIQ really free?
Yes. Every feature is free to use for businesses across BCP. There is no paid plan and no sign-up wall — you can open the dashboard and use it straight away.
How accurate are the forecasts?
CoastIQ estimates likely demand changes using local signals — it does not predict exact footfall. Scores and uplift ranges are estimates based on weather, events, holidays and seasonal patterns. We're honest about confidence levels.
What areas does CoastIQ cover?
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole — including Bournemouth Seafront, Bournemouth Town Centre, Poole Quay, Poole Harbour and Christchurch Town Centre.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The dashboard, forecast, weather, events, actions and alerts are all open. The only optional sign-up is the free weekly email briefing, if you'd like it delivered to your inbox.
