The first and still the best, NOAA Buoy and Tide Data allows you to retrieve weather data from NOAAs National Data Buoy Center. It also provides tide predictions for the US and Moon phase information.

The perfect tool to help plan your time on the water.

**For a map of buoys locations, go here: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

* NEW - Home page lets you keep your most commonly used data in one place.
* Search for buoys by name.
* View buoys near you with customizable search radius.
* Use GPS or manually entered location.
* Map of buoy locations.
* Detailed live buoy data with access to location specific forecasts.
* Save your favorites for easy access.
* Quick access to buoys website from within the application.
* Buoys sorted by proximity to your selected location.
* Tide Predictions.

Data can include wind speed, gusts, and direction as well as pressure and other relevant marine data. This data is dependent on the buoy since not all buoys have the same sensors.

If you participate in activities where marine weather is important, you need this app.

Great for:

boating
sailing
diving
fishing
kite boarding
and any activity where marine weather conditions are important.

If you fish at sea like we do, this is a great app for you.

Excellent; Maybe Life-Saving

This app provides ship reports of actual conditions around me in the Bahamas. When the weather is supposed to deteriorate, or when I dont trust the forecast (which is often) I use this app to find out what is really happening. When the forecaster calls for a front with winds, say, in the 20-25kt range, I get the ship reports sorted by distance to see if it is better or worse than expected. Frequently, I have seen ship reports of winds far in excess of the predictions. The map view allows me to follow the front as it approaches and to check whether a report likely represents a localized squall or a general condition on the other side of the front. This allows me to take precautions like setting another anchor, or reefing the sails, or finding sheltered harbour. The data is presented very well. I have tried to find it directly at NOAA, but with no success. It is pretty challenging to pick a few reports out of a long tabular list of NOAA data when the weathers getting bad at sea. The map function is critical. Admittedly, you do have to have Internet access on your boat to use this, but that is becoming much cheaper and more readily available. This is the only weather app that allows me to easily check actual conditions. I use it almost every day.

Error Loading Data

This app no longer works. All I get is an error message that says "Unable to Load Data" Error B1098. The last time they updated the app was like 2 years ago. Looks like its kaput.

Rip off ap

Rip off - less data than going to NOAA website

.

Works well. Some trend graphs would be useful.

Eh

The app pulls useless info and displays links to NOAA? Why not use safari? Disappointed.

Awesome

Very useful app. Will use over and over again. Info at your finger tips.

Must have for boaters

If you fish or boat, current weather conditions are important. A touch or two of your phone gives you all the info you need before you go. Now even better you got radar images of the area to let you know if its raining or not! Good work!
