Surf reports in real-time by checking nearby marine weather buoys. Avoid relying on inaccurate forecasts. Wave reports & buoy readings made easy for surfing (wave sizes, swell direction and period, wind speed/direction and more). Get aware if the surf is good in advance. Too often swell arrives later than predicted, checking the buoy waves data you can determine if the swell has arrived. If not, go back to bed =) ▶ Over 450 NOAA & worldwide buoys. ▶ iOS Home and Lock screen widgets! ▶ Waves size notifications to score the best surf. ▶ Favorites buoys. ▶ New watchOS complications. ▶ Historic charts. ▶ Dark or Light mode support. ▶ HOW IT WORKS Set your nearest or preferred buoy as your main one and your are ready to get real-time updates, 24-hour chart data, buoy alerts and much more. You will be able to set Modular, Graphic and Circular complications that will display buoy data at a glance. If offline, lastly marine buoys observations will always be available for your main buoy. Buoy readings include swell size, direction and period. Some buoys provide weather information, such as wind direction, wind speed, air and water temperature. Buoy data is provided by the National Data Buoy Center of NOAA (http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov), Candhis (https://candhis.cerema.fr/), Meteo-France (https://donneespubliques.meteofrance.fr/), Puertos del Estado (https://puertos.es) and other public services. Please check that there are wave buoys in your area before purchasing. Covered Areas: - North America: US Pacific: Washington to California US Atlantic: Main to Florida Alaska US Virgin Islands Puerto Rico US/Canada Great Lakes Gulf of Mexico - Hawaii - Australia - Europe - Caribbean - Samoa - Guam - Marshall Islands - Pohnpei, Micronesia - Palau, Micronesia Terms of service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/}

I’m recommending this app if you want to study about tsunamis 🌊. I know its for surfers 🏄‍♂️ but when a buoy drops more than 30 feet 👣 people needs to know!

Les bouées françaises ne semblent émettre aucune données c’est dommage l’application est prometteuse mais inexploitable sur la côte sud ouest Française. Une idée du problème ?

App advice: this app is supposed to have free lifetime option, but it isn’t working. Its listed but something isn’t operating correctly… Buoywatch Lifetime PRO Subscription 1yr (1 Year) $0.00 Shows this price in the “in app purchases” but the zero dollar option does not appear in the onboarding. No reply from support request about it!!

edit: received developer response. amended rating. hoping to see continued progress :^) i’ve had this app for a long time. for a while i thought it’d been abandoned, but recently it has been getting better fairly consistently. i recently paid for the Pro version and, while i have no idea what exactly that entitles one to, i will note that the data refreshes seem more immediate and snappy. is that Pro? dunno. the developer needs to follow Apple’s lead with watchOS 10 and pivot the app to a “Widget first” functionality, which massively improves background refresh while minimizing battery impact. PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!! the improvements are welcome. hope to see more

This is by far the best buoy app for surfers. All the right info, clean interface, and includes an Apple Watch face and Widgets for your iPhone Home Screen. Great jobs guys — thank you!!

Please make wind direction and speed available as information displayed along with the swell size in the complication. Preferably in a “wind vane” or compass rose format 🙏🙂
