About
Check real conditions on the water before you head out. Buoys puts live NOAA observations, NWS marine forecasts, and tide predictions on one map — no account, no ads, and no paywall in front of safety data. Built for boaters, anglers, surfers, sailors, and paddlers who want the numbers straight from the source: the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), the National Weather Service (NWS), and NOAA CO-OPS tide stations. WHAT'S ON THE MAP • 1,000+ NDBC buoys and coastal weather stations with live observations • NOAA CO-OPS tide prediction stations • Filter by station type; search by name, station ID, or any US place LIVE BUOY OBSERVATIONS • Wind speed, gusts, and direction • Wave height, dominant period, and swell • Air and water temperature, and barometric pressure • Trend charts for recent hours FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE • Hour-by-hour forecast: temperature, wind, and rain chance • Full 7-day forecast with precipitation probability • Three-day wave height forecast from the NWS marine grid — even offshore • Feels-like temperature right now • Active watches, warnings, and advisories, most severe first TIDES • Next high and low tide at a glance • Tide curves from official NOAA harmonic predictions SAVE YOUR SPOTS • Star the buoys and tide stations you check before heading out • Save any US place — a launch ramp, a beach, a harbor — and get its NWS forecast there • Favorites show live conditions the moment you open the app BUILT ON TRUST Every reading shows its source and observation time, so you always know how fresh the data is. When a sensor is silent or a location is outside NWS coverage, the app says so instead of showing stale numbers. Buoys is not an official NOAA product. All data comes from public NOAA and NWS services (NDBC, api.weather.gov, CO-OPS), and readings can be delayed or incomplete — never rely on a single source for safety decisions on the water. US coverage. No account required. Free.
