Bluewater Forecast

Bluewater Forecast is a fast, map-first marine weather app for anyone who reads the water — surfers, offshore and inshore anglers, sailors, divers, and boaters.

Instead of burying you in numbers, Bluewater puts the ocean on a live map and reads the next five days for any spot on the US coast. Toggle the layers you care about and see them rendered over your coastline in seconds.

WHAT YOU GET (FREE)
• Waves — height, period and direction from GFS-Wave, hourly to five days
• Wind & gusts — NOAA HRRR 3 km for the first two days, the NWS National Blend to five days, with the model named on every hour
• Tides — NOAA CO-OPS predictions with the nearest station picked for you
• Water levels — every NOAA tide gauge, observed height against the predicted tide, so surge and wind setup show as the gap
• Live buoys — real-time observations from every active NDBC station
• Precip radar, cloud cover, severe marine alerts, sea surface temperature, tidal currents, reefs and the NOAA nautical chart
• A dashboard with the NWS hourly forecast, tide, sunrise, sunset and moon for your spot, and a 3D terrain view on the full map

FOR FISHING (PRO)
• Fishing hotspots — five physical edges (temperature break, colour change, current, eddy edge, structure) scored per square kilometre
• Sea-surface temperature breaks and chlorophyll edges — find the colour change
• Ocean currents and sea height with eddy rings — read bait lines and structure
• Saved spots synced across your devices, and condition alerts

SAVED SPOTS & ALERTS (PRO)
• Save your breaks and honey holes
• Set condition alerts — "tell me when wind is under 12 and the swell turns S, within two hours of high tide" — and get a push when your window lines up

Bluewater is a web app wrapped for Android, so it stays up to date automatically and works offline for your last-viewed conditions.

Free to use, with a Pro tier for the fishing-intelligence layers, saved spots and alerts. Subscriptions are managed on bluewaterforecast.com.
