Surf reports in real-time by checking nearby marine weather buoys.
Real-time surf reports at a glance through the weather buoy stations (wave sizes, direction, period, wind speed/direction and more).
Buoy readings made easy for surfing. Get aware if the surf is good in advance.
Too often swell arrives later than predicted, checking the buoy waves data you can determine if the swell has arrived. If not, go back to bed =)

PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!!
edit: received developer response. amended rating. hoping to see continued progress :^)
i’ve had this app for a long time. for a while i thought it’d been abandoned, but recently it has been getting better fairly consistently. i recently paid for the Pro version and, while i have no idea what exactly that entitles one to, i will note that the data refreshes seem more immediate and snappy. is that Pro? dunno. the developer needs to follow Apple’s lead with watchOS 10 and pivot the app to a “Widget first” functionality, which massively improves background refresh while minimizing battery impact. PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!! the improvements are welcome. hope to see more
Amazing for surfers
But it’s stopped working with the latest watch update. Anyway you can fix? I love having this on my watch!
Best Buoy App for Surfers
This is by far the best buoy app for surfers. All the right info, clean interface, and includes an Apple Watch face and Widgets for your iPhone Home Screen. Great jobs guys — thank you!!
