About

Nearshore puts live marine weather and buoy data at your fingertips — covering every US coastline from the Great Lakes to Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands. Built by a Great Lakes paddler, Nearshore started as a simple tool for checking nearshore conditions before heading out. It's grown into a comprehensive marine weather app for sailors, boaters, paddlers, anglers, and anyone who depends on accurate coastal conditions. FREE FEATURES Nearshore and Coastal Forecasts Browse marine forecasts from all 48 NWS forecast offices. Tap any forecast zone to read the full NWS text, view current advisories, and jump to surf zone forecasts for the Great Lakes. Weather Tab Get a detailed point forecast for any location. See current conditions, active weather alerts, a near-term forecast strip, hourly wind/temperature/precipitation breakdowns, and live radar — all from official NWS data. NEARSHORE PRO Real-time Buoy Data Live observations from 1,100+ NDBC and GLOS stations across all US coastal waters. Wind speed, direction, and gusts. Wave height, period, and direction. Air and water temperatures, barometric pressure, and more. View 5-day and 45-day observation history for any buoy. Interactive Map See every buoy at a glance with live data callouts. Filter by region and tap any buoy for full details. Favorites Save your go-to forecast zones and buoys for quick access.
