NOAA Marine Forecast & Weather

As of now this is my go or no go app when planning a kayak fishing trip. I have used It over 10 times and the information was spot on. It takes the NOAA data and presents in a very easily understandable way. Just tap on where you want to be at and that is it. I like the wind data and the swell info. If the wind is over 7 kts or the swell is over 3 ft it is time to stay home and do something else.

Wish this contain the same information as the Coastal Marine forecast by zone info provided by NOAA that is important for Boater Safety. All experienced Boater know that Wave Period can be far more important than Wave Height. Time between waves (Wave Period) will define how good or bad the offshore conditions will be. If 4 foot waves have 10 seconds between wave it will be a super enjoyable day. If 4 foot waves have 5 seconds between wave it will be an awful day. Just go to the Marine Forecast by Zone information proved by NOAA and save the money of buying this app (app is handy for quick info but us Boaters end up just going back to NOAA Marine forecast web page and finding out the wave period and height for our safety anyways.

This app has become my first choice when planning fishing trips. The weather and sea condition forecasts are generally very accurate, and the tide predictions are very helpful too. I do wish there was a little more info on the tide predictions though, perhaps a little more granularity so it’s easier to see tide changes at half hour intervals.
