Buoyk
Live buoy map & wave data
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Checked the buoy before your last trip? Now you will. NOAA/NDBC conditions mapped, cleaned, and charted for the water you care about.
Stop loading NOAA text files on your phone.
Buoyk turns the public NOAA/NDBC buoy network into a fast, clean native app. Open the map, find a buoy, and read actual conditions without fighting tables, missing-value clutter, or generic weather summaries.
Built for boaters, anglers, surfers, paddlers, sailors, dive planners, coastal photographers, and anyone who checks the water before making a plan.
What you get:
- A map of public NOAA/NDBC buoy and station observations
- Wave, wind, water temperature, atmosphere, tide, and current readings when stations report them
- Station detail pages that hide unavailable fields instead of showing useless placeholders
- History charts for available measurements
- Favorites with custom station names and up to 3 highlighted measurements
- BuoyCAM images where NDBC publishes station cameras
- Metric and imperial display options
- Native iPhone and iPad support
Buoyk is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NOAA, NDBC, NWS, or the U.S. government. Data availability, freshness, and accuracy depend on public source services and reporting stations.
Important: Buoyk is for informational planning only. It is not a substitute for official marine forecasts, navigation equipment, emergency alerts, local authority guidance, or real-world judgment.
Beach day upgrade: Buoyk now packs a cleaner build so you can check buoy conditions before committing to sunscreen, snacks, and pretending the wind is “probably fine.”
