Helm WX Marine Weather & Tides

About

Helm WX gives you the marine weather data that actually matters — wind, waves, sea state, and tides together in one clean view. Built for boaters, sailors, and anyone who needs to know what the water is doing before they go out. **Live data from real sources** Helm WX pulls directly from NOAA weather stations, offshore buoys, and tide gauges — not a statistical model. You get actual observed conditions from the nearest station to wherever you're headed. **Wind, waves, and tides — together** Most weather apps show you one or the other. Helm WX shows wind speed and direction, wave height and period, sea state, and a full tide chart all on the same screen. Everything you need to make a go/no-go call in one place. **Works anywhere in the world** Enter coordinates, drop a pin on the map, search by city or port name, or tap Use My Location. Helm WX works offshore too — not just coastal areas. **Save your spots** Save up to 10 favorite locations and load them with one tap. Set a default home port and the app knows where to look first. **Daily report notifications** Schedule a morning push notification for your saved location. Know the conditions before you leave the dock. **No subscription. No ads.** Pay once, own it forever. $4.99 gets you the full app with no recurring charges, no data paywalls, and no ads cluttering up your screen while you're trying to read a wind barb. **Data sources:** - NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) — offshore buoys and coastal stations - NOAA Tides & Currents — 6-minute tide predictions and observations - National Weather Service (NWS) — marine zone forecasts - Open-Meteo — coastal atmospheric conditions - NCEP GFS & WaveWatch III — offshore forecast models
