About this app

Great for surfing, diving, sailing, swimming or deciding if it's a good time to hit the beach. Check what time the next high/low tide is. Use the home screen widget to keep an eye on the water.

Live scientific readings from ocean buoys around the world. Data is provided by the National Data Buoy Center of NOAA and other public scientific organizations. Most buoys report water temperature and swell height, but some have more information available than others. Automatically select the closest buoy, choose one from the map, or choose from the list. Build a list of favorites for quick access to key buoys. With your device's location function turned on, bearing and distance to the buoy is calculated and displayed. This app is lightweight, easy-to-use, and requires virtually no data usage.

Currently, buoys are included from the following locations:

United States, including Alaska and Hawaii
US Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico
Caribbean
Gulf of Mexico
United Kingdom
Ireland
Sweden
Finland
Estonia
Latvia
Germany
France
Denmark
Spain
Azores
Portugal
Italy
Greece
Turkey
India
Taiwan

I use this for deciding if I want to swim or not. My favorite feature is the temperature history graphs, and I have some suggestions to make them more useful: 1. Make the graphs 'traceable', meaning that I can tap on a data point on the graph and see the time and temp at that point 2. Let the graphs turn to landscape mode to spread out, instead of just being portrait mode 3. have the option to mark high/low tide points on the temp graph. The temperatures go up and down so much each day, and I'm interested to find out if they follow times or tides more. I also wish the buoy data was refreshed more often, but that may be due to the buoys, not this app.

Especially useful for hurricane watchers. Water temps and wind info along and ahead of storm's track is great! The more buoys on app the better!! Useful for boaters and fishermen and fisherwomen with tide info also. Maybe moon phases and moonrise and moonstone data could be added! Enjoying the app so much.

Mixed feelings about this app. If you open the actual app, you will get all of the info you want. However, it seems the screen widget either shows no info, or old info. In other words, I rarely can rely on the widget info as being accurate. UPDATE: Since the developer reached out to me to explain how the under performing widget is more Google's fault, I've changed my mind and will be raising my rating from a 4 to a 5.

John - thanks for the feedback. As Android moves to favor battery life more and more, widgets are suffering because the Android 8 update causes them to refresh less frequently. Many developers have dropped support for widgets, but we're committed to supporting them as long as possible. Reach out if you have any questions!
