Coverage includes more than 1000 buoys and 200 ships worldwide, spanning the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the U.S. and Canada, the Great Lakes, the Caribbean, and waters around Ireland and Great Britain.

Simply tap any buoy or ship on the map to view its latest reported conditions. Tap again for a full summary or an interactive graph of recent trends, so you can see not only what’s happening now, but how conditions have changed over time.

Add favorites to quickly view the locations that matter most to you, and monitor them anytime with the included widgets.

This app DOES NOT provide tide data, or maritime or other weather forecasts. There are dedicated apps for these from other publishers that do an excellent job. This app specializes exclusively in buoy and ship observation data.

Please note that not all buoys have all types of data available, and buoys do experience intermittent outages — a life at sea can be harsh!

Additionally, note that some buoys may be seasonal, and may be physically removed from the water during winter months, such as in the Great Lakes.

Source data is from NOAA, National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), and the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

Ratings and reviews

ok ish it was fine the only thing I hate is how you pretty much need the subscription to do ANYTHING besides basic water and weather data. they could also do a bit more work on ship info

5* SO FAR! Just now downloaded this app because of the March 16, 2022 Honshu, Japan tsunami threat. I want to see if buoys were being tossed about so I would know if I should be watchful here on the Oregon Coast. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the buoy I tapped on says there is currently no reading. So either that buoy's reading are out of service or there is truly no threat. But I figure, every little bit helps. So I think Im really liking this app so far. I will update if it is problematic.

Much better than the phone.
