NOAA Marine Forecast: Buoycast
Clima
Gratis · Compras dentro de la app
Know the real conditions on the water before you leave the dock.
On the water since 2017, with 200,000+ downloads and 10,000+ five-star ratings from boaters, anglers, sailors, kayakers, and coastal homeowners.
Buoycast shows you the wind, waves, and water temperature actually happening out there right now, measured on the water by 1,000+ NOAA buoys, not modeled from a land forecast. Marine forecasts, tides, and NOAA alerts layer on top, organized around your location and your favorite spots. Your closest buoy is on the home screen. Everything else is one more tap away.
