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.
