Not all buoys collect wave data. This app will display all data collected by a buoy. If you have any questions before purchasing, please email me at mwnbdc@gmail.com. I typically respond by the end of the day. If you notice a missing a buoy, please contact me first rather than leaving a poor review. If you are correct, the buoy can be easily be added to the cloud database. Enjoy.
Never shows actual temperature
I track the temps to try and guess when the stripers run up and down the Atlantic coast. Seems pretty bug-free as well. Good job 👍
This app is useless if you live in MA. There is one buoy in the Boston area so there is no way it can be used for any specific Massachusetts beach.
You click on a buoy and nothing happens. Furthermore, the map does not show the Wilmette buoy I have a phone number and buoy number for that give me the current water temp so I can decide whether to swim laps in the lake that day and time. This app is a bummer.
There are no temperature losing for the mid Atlantic states. (NJ, NY ETC)
In my opinion, the indemnity clause creates an unreasonable risk of financial ruin for a user. According to the terms, as a user I would be obligated to pay a judgment entered against the app developer and all cost and attorneys fees if a suit is brought by someone else who alleges their damages arise out if my use of the app even if the app developer was negligent and I in fact did not have anything to do with the incident I would be a sucker to risk financial ruin just to use this app for information about the sea state when that information is available in so many other sources that are safe to use. Aggravating. Don’t need it.
Pretty sure they just take the information from the nearest noaa/ndbc buoy and apply it across large areas which dilutes its accuracy. You can get same info from nbdc for free. If you are looking for temp breaks you won’t find them here.
Simple to use app, find the buoy near you get your data. You can get it for the waves or the weather. Click on the i on the buoy and it will bring up the data super simple.
Sea temps are display in color. You have to try and figure out where that color fits among the painfully small temperature scale at the bottom of the map. Would have liked it if we could just place crosshairs or a pin on a spot and it would tell you the sea temp. Would like the ocean floor map to have more details and not get hidden under the layer.
Slow, no full earth map view, no flat earth map, wave height map (my main interest along with ocean surface temp) only shows some areas. A far better app is MeteoEarth for much of this
