NOAA Buoy Reports App Reviews

Love this app. great for fishing and any other boating weather awareness requirements. I used to use these to predict where hurricanes would track. I’m no meteorologist, but it’s a fun challenge. Long ago when I was in aviation, I used them to see what the water temperature was. It helped us predict inevitable fog on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island. Always file a float plan!

gives me critical information about what the ocean is doing. This helps make me a better boater knowing what to expect

Great and accurate thread. Matches the radio report 📻

Well, first, I NEVER thought that I would be reviewing a bouy! (There. That’s outa da way). Second and foremost, I gave 4-stars only bcz when it’s extremely cold or windy, the “numbers” get skewed. But udderwise, like today, that big ol’ Weeble-Wobble* sits out there selflessly giving up its data, 24/7, to anyone that wants it. It’s kinda sad… 👁️ 👁️ 👃🏻💧 👄

Love this for Lake Erie buoys in regards for water temps pressure and because I got a lifetime subscription for 25$ buoy cams and buoy history

Want numbers for gps to find buoys! Where is the gps numbers?

The buoy information is extremely valuable and I appreciate the easy access provided

We use this app. often when we’re planning an offshore trip or even head to the beach. It gives us a decent snapshot of the sea temp. as well as sea state and winds. All vital information to plan a run.

This is a critical service to all who travel on the lakes, especially recreational boaters!

I used this app everyday 27months when I worked in cleaning up the deep water horizon oil spill . I was on Dauphin Island for my complete service. This App Gave me the help i needed to insure the safety of the day. Out in the water by vessel or on Land. In conjunction with Noaa Radar Live and Cost Gaurds updates my day was planned. THE BUOY REPORTS were accurate and let us know when the waters would be choppy on the water .. Thank You ,Lisa

Quick and accurate. Really helps to plan the day. Fish On !

Why no buoy report

Perfect for the Greatlakes region!

Same as title

Mid Lake Michigan buoys wave hts missing

Very easy app to use. Awesome that you can favorite for east future look up. I wish you could apply filters so if, for example, you wanted to know the wind you could filter off all those that don’t record wind. Or turn off ships. Other the having to find what you’re looking for the app is extremely straight forward and useful.

Ships never seem to report water temperature??

It’s super handy to have all of the buoy info right there at my fingertips, and upgrading to premium was worth it just for having an extensive favorites list alone. Sailing down the San Joaquin to San Francisco, I’m checking on all of those conditions.

I’ll be going on a cruise and this has been so useful in helping me anticipate weather conditions such as air temperature and wave action. Upgraded to Professional, which is VERY inexpensive. Great.

It was a good site until the Smith Island buoy at the East entrance of Juan de Fuca Sraight was removed. That report was essential to determine what the conditions in Rosario Straight might be. Thank you
