Description

This is the no-nonsense app to get all the buoy information you need — without the clutter of tide or weather forecasts. NOAA Buoy Reports includes: • Intuitive map interface • Quick-view Favorites • Locations of Tropical Storms, Hurricanes, and Cyclones from the NHC • Full buoy current conditions (always free) • Ship observations (free preview) • Buoy Cams (free preview) • Past buoy data up to 45 days (Upgrade Required) • Wave heights and directions (when available) • Wind, gusts, and directions (when available) • Air and Water temperatures (when available) • Atmospheric pressure (when available) • Interactive graphs • Units in Metric or English • Readings in your local time • Share data via iMessage, Email, Facebook, etc. • Full Dark Mode support • Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy Mode Widgets to monitor your favorites Coverage includes more than 1000 buoys and 200 ships worldwide, spanning the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the U.S. and Canada, the Great Lakes, the Caribbean, and waters around Ireland and Great Britain. Simply tap any buoy or ship on the map to view its latest reported conditions. Tap again for a full summary or an interactive graph of recent trends, so you can see not only what’s happening now, but how conditions have changed over time. Add favorites to quickly view the locations that matter most to you, and monitor them anytime with the included widgets. This app DOES NOT provide tide data, or maritime or other weather forecasts. There are dedicated apps for these from other publishers that do an excellent job. This app specializes exclusively in buoy and ship observation data. Please note that not all buoys have all types of data available, and buoys do experience intermittent outages — a life at sea can be harsh! Additionally, note that some buoys may be seasonal, and may be physically removed from the water during winter months, such as in the Great Lakes.

  • Excellent Source of Sea Conditions - wave heights/winds/sea temp.

    We use this app. often when we’re planning an offshore trip or even head to the beach. It gives us a decent snapshot of the sea temp. as well as sea state and winds. All vital information to plan a run.

    Terrible app due to data from many buoys not available most of the time. Additionally the ships displayed in many areas rarely contribute any data.
  • GPS

    Love this for Lake Erie buoys in regards for water temps pressure and because I got a lifetime subscription for 25$ buoy cams and buoy history

    Well, first, I NEVER thought that I would be reviewing a bouy! (There. That’s outa da way). Second and foremost, I gave 4-stars only bcz when it’s extremely cold or windy, the “numbers” get skewed. But udderwise, like today, that big ol’ Weeble-Wobble* sits out there selflessly giving up its data, 24/7, to anyone that wants it. It’s kinda sad… 👁️ 👁️ 👃🏻💧 👄
    *I remembered, after I got this far, that this bouy is factually brick-and-mortar, not capable of wobbling.

    Love this app. great for fishing and any other boating weather awareness requirements. I used to use these to predict where hurricanes would track. I’m no meteorologist, but it’s a fun challenge. Long ago when I was in aviation, I used them to see what the water temperature was. It helped us predict inevitable fog on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island. Always file a float plan!
  • Just what I was looking for!

    I’ll be going on a cruise and this has been so useful in helping me anticipate weather conditions such as air temperature and wave action. Upgraded to Professional, which is VERY inexpensive. Great.
