Read the buoy. Watch the water. Train your call.
Wave Whisperer pulls current buoy data straight from CDIP and NOAA.
Current swell height, period, direction, and sea surface temperature.
Built for surfers who want the numbers as measured.
This is not a forecast.
What you get:
• Your own buoys: the five stations nearest you to start, then any of 109 across the North Pacific
• Individual swells and the average period, two switches you turn on when you want them
• 24-hour comparison, so you can see how conditions have shifted
• Recent data at a glance; press and hold a row to save a past reading
• Swell history you save on your device and revisit anytime
• A rotating compass with swell direction on the rim
• Buoy School: what every reading means, with CDIP's own definitions and links
• Low Light display mode for dawn patrol
• Feet and Fahrenheit, or meters and Celsius; 12-hour or 24-hour clock
• A share card for the current reading
No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Your saved history stays on your device and in your own iCloud.
Try it free for 30 days. After that, a one-time $1.99 unlock keeps it going. No subscription.
Wave Whisperer shows current measured conditions. It is not a forecast and does not tell you whether to paddle out. Always use your own judgment and official sources for marine safety. Not affiliated with NOAA, NDBC, CDIP, or Scripps.
Your own buoys. A new install starts on the five stations nearest you. Build the rest of your list from 109 North Pacific stations, by name, city or number.

Swells and average period. Two switches in Settings, off until you want them.
