About WaveWatch

Simple map interface shows buoys everywhere you navigate. Touch a buoy marker to see current conditions as reported by that buoy. Add a buoy to your favorites list to get current readings without having to find it again on the map.

New: Markers display the number of people "following" that buoy.

- Uses Google Maps interface to locate buoys
- Add buoys to your Favorites list
- Compare the latest observations of your Favorites
- Useful for sailing, surfing, kiting, and boating and fishing.
- This app gets fresh data directly from NOAA, not from an intermediate service.

This app seems to be the most accurate I've used yet. From a professional mariner who spends half his life on the ocean

Works ok wish it had the direction like south west instead of the degrees of a compass or both

Many of the Pacific buoys give the data for swell height, which is a different number than significant wave height, but is very important for determining surf conditions. Your app will not be as good as the noaa website until you start collecting and transmitting this information. Thank you

I love this app.. but I can't get station 45005 - West Erie to report data or show up as a Fav.. on my MotoX (5.1) It was working, but then WaveWatch started crashing all the time until I removed and reinstalled.. had to add all my favs back and they all work fine.. (once I removed this one) Oddly, the station reports fine on my other Android Device and shows active online.. (so, i don't understand) -j Update: I have a second Android Device that was working perfectly which included 45005 - until I put YOUR latest update on it last night.. it's crashing now too until I remove 45005 from my list of Fav's... Please FIX this asap, as 45005 is a critical station in Lake Erie.. we count on it often.. Is there a way to roll back the most recent update of Wave Watch? Thanks.. -j

Half of these type of buoy apps crash or don't display your local information. This one works! Wish it showed wave direction, that's what us surfers need!

Seems to work good but doesn't show all the boys I want to see in my area. Faster to bookmark the nova Web page... for me.

Using it to look at tropical atmos changes. Would be good if the bouy data would show what direction the pressure change is (+-).

Why is it called wave watch and it doesn't give the wave heights?

This is the greatest wave app in history.

Better than the $.99 app, shows buoys & can actually see location, creates a favorite list, information is the same because it is straight from NOAA.
