User Reviews
The wave and wind update for my favorites have not updated since April 16. I have deleted and reloaded app with no change.
Great App, And great information for sailor like me at 75, I need as much information as possible for safe travel⛵️.
I use NY Harbor synopsis weather every day, but when I’m going sailing I reach out to NOAA New York Harbor Weather Synopsis.
Had boating weather for about a year now, love it
This is my goto app to get a dashboard glance at the weather conditions around me. I’ll have others but I’ll always check this one for a reality check because it’s easy to read.
Usually very good, with the exception of sea heights
This app is my go to for boating weather. I have a small craft and the wave height matters to me. Love that feature
I’m a guide in AK and use this app all the time. We have up to 30’ of water exchange twice a day so knowing the tide paired with weather is kinda important. This app has kept me safe.
Thus is the ONLY Marine weather app that focuses on providing the all-important and primary source NOAA Marine Area Forecast for your area. Getting hung up on point forecasts is a great mistake, when weather predictions are based on large scale forces over large geographic areas. Check Area Forecast on Boating Weather by Blue Whale. Then go geek out on the distractive bells & whistles on the other apps. This is the FIRST and Primary marine weather app we require for all of our boating/cruising students at Shearwater University.
