PRESS FOR NOAA Ocean Buoys
“The official NOAA buoys are essential tools that pro surfers use, and you should too. This app is definitely a steal.” – Surfer Magazine
"’Its actually great for figuring out whats going on when you wake up in the dark and need figure out whats going on, without leaving your bed’ […] If the surf hasnt cleaned up yet, or the swell hasnt arrived, no one wants to stumble out into a 40-degree morning […] Its also good for getting real time info to track a swell, watching the numbers rise or fall.” – www.espn.com
The app “processes countless data from NOAA’s buoys and displays it in an easy-to-read format on your phone.” – Eastern Surf Magazine

Its a not good app
Buoys
I suppose its helpful if youre lucky enough to be near one of the few buoys it has. Unfortunately there are no buoys near me so I wasted my money on this.
NOAA Buoys
Great app,very intuitive to use. With all the major NOAA buoys available, the info supplied from the buoys lets you know what is happening with the ocean direct from the NOAA buoys. Watching the ocean while checking the buoy data on your iphone gives you insight for later as to what the conditions are when you cant see the ocean, a great learning tool. Finding buoys at other locations is a snap also.
Waste of money for socal
No bouy info for southern california bouys.
Great app!
My cousins are all pro surfers and use this app all the time. I am just learning, but I love reading the data and seeing where the swells are. Highly recommended!!!!
Support
I put in a request for an additional buoy. It was added the same day. Excellent support!
socal buoys
just downloaded and i see all the major buoys for socal. not sure if theyve added new ones since the earlier reviews but i count about 25 from santa barbara to mex which is plenty
