Description

The app has been transitioned from a paid app to a free app effective 10/15/2017. As part of this transition, support will be limited.

Purpose-built for surfers who have busy lives and can't be checking the surf report and webcams all day long. The app will notify you when the conditions for surfing are ideal.

Please verify below that there are buoys available near you before downloading.

* When the conditions are good, you will be notified on your phone and Android Wear smartwatch.
* Does not vibrate or make a sound after 6pm and before 6am.
* Semi-persistent notification in status bar will always keep you up to date with the latest conditions at a glance while staying out of your way when conditions are poor.

Note that NOAA buoys do not always report every piece data each hour. Sometimes you will see 'No Data' or 'Unavailable' for those fields which the buoy is not reporting.

Data is provided by NOAA Coastwatch. We do not control their servers or their buoys and make no claims about their reliability or availability.

For an example of the areas currently covered by NOAA buoys see (http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/?lat=20.000000&lon=-120.000000&zoom=2&type=h&status=r&pgm=IOOS%20Partners|Marine%20METAR|NDBC%20Meteorological/Ocean|NERRS|NOS/CO-OPS|Oil%20and%20Gas%20Industry&op=&ls=false).

NOTE that there is no support for the Arctic Ocean, Southern Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, or Indian Ocean. Coverage of the Atlantic Ocean is limited to the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. There is no coverage of the Southern or Eastern Atlantic Ocean.

There is no guarantee that using this app will enable you to catch every single good swell, but it will certainly help you know when it gets good!
