Description
playbuoy brings unparalleled insight into NOAA buoy wave readings.
Detailed Swell Observations and Forecast. playbuoy analyzes NOAA buoy data with a customized algorithm to extract detailed swell information from raw buoy observations and wave models. This gives the most accurate breakdown of where swell is headed and when. With 16 days of forecasted swell data, you will always be informed of what to expect for whatever ocean activities you love. While other apps will show two swell components observed or forecasted, playbuoy will show up to five.
Beautiful and Meaningful plots. Easily compare the the current buoy readings with model forecasts to prepare and plan for how the forecasts may not be matching up with what is actually happening in the ocean. No other service can visualize the full directional wave spectra for both buoy observations and wave models at once.
Explore the latest buoy observations from all over the US and beyond to watch current weather events or plan for future activities. Or select your favorite buoys to keep the wave information you need the most a tap away.
Widgets and watch complications keep the latest data a glance away. Never miss a swell again.
Share plots and swell data with a custom share function to loop others in and make group plans for surfing, fishing, boating, or any other ocean activity you love.
What’s New
Version 1.15.0
New! You can now zoom in on the wave timeline using the new magnification buttons, or using double tap to zoom, and long press to zoom out!
Optionally, you can still use pinch to zoom in and out but it is less precise.
Have fun!
