Live NOAA buoy data for marine weather. Track waves, wind, water temperature and ocean conditions with real-time buoy maps, alerts and widgets
Live NOAA buoy weather for boaters, sailors, anglers, and surfers. Check wave height, wind speed, tides, and nearby marine conditions before you leave the dock.
Marine Conditions brings real-time ocean and Great Lakes observations from the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) into a fast map, station pages, and home-screen widgets. See what the water is doing right now — not a generic city forecast.
NEARBY MARINE WEATHER
Allow location to find the closest buoys, compare distance, and open local wave, wind, and sea-state readings. Use Near Me when you want conditions around your harbor, inlet, or launch ramp.
LIVE BUOY MAP
Browse NOAA stations on an interactive map. Tap a marker for wave height, wind, gusts, and a condition rating so you can scan a coastline or offshore route at a glance.
STATION DETAILS AND CHARTS
Open any buoy for current observations and recent trends:
• Wind speed, wind gust, and wind direction
• Wave height, wave period, and swell context
• Barometric pressure and pressure tendency
• Air temperature, water temperature, and dew point
• Fog risk when air temperature sits close to dew point
• Visibility and tide
• Condition status (good / caution / rough) based on wind and waves
Favorites keep your home spots one tap away. Share a station when you want the crew on the same page.
REGIONAL MARINE CONDITIONS
Jump into Florida, California, Hawaii, the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Alaska. Compare stations across a region before a crossing, a charter, or a weekend trip.
BUOY CAMERAS
View cached NOAA BuoyCAM images where a station has a camera. Confirm sea state and visibility with a live-looking frame, then open the full camera feed.
ALERTS ON YOUR IPHONE
Set condition alerts on wave height, wind, or other metrics. Get a local notification when a favorite buoy crosses your threshold — useful before a dawn start or a weather window.
WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITIES
Pin wave, wind, water, pressure, or a full dashboard widget. Start a live session to keep a station on the Lock Screen while you prepare the boat.
UNITS SAILORS ACTUALLY USE
Switch wind between m/s, knots, and mph; temperature between °C and °F; pressure, distance, wave height, and tide independently. Settings stay on the device.
SEARCH, BEST CONDITIONS, AND OFFLINE CACHE
Search stations, sort calmer spots, and keep recent observations available when the signal drops at the ramp.
WHO IT IS FOR
Boating conditions and small-craft checks. Fishing weather and water temperature. Surf conditions and swell period. Offshore passages and coastal cruising. Sailing, kayaking, and Great Lakes daysails.
DATA YOU CAN TRACE
Observations come from NOAA / NDBC public buoy data. Pages may show cached or delayed readings when a station is offline. This app is for information and planning — always confirm with official forecasts, charts, and your own lookout before you get underway.
FREE AND PREMIUM
The free app includes nearby buoys, the map, station pages, and core charts. Premium removes ads and unlocks more favorites, more alerts, longer chart history, and the full camera feed.
