About
Buoycast shows what NOAA buoys are measuring right now, with wind, waves and water temperature, plus marine forecasts, tides and alerts for your spots. The Watch app carries buoy observations, forecasts and tides in the free version, and Pro adds complications for wind, waves, temperature, pressure and NOAA alerts. It suits boaters, anglers and paddlers checking conditions at the dock.
