NOAA Marine Weather & Forecast

Features & Capabilities

Great Lakes Boating Weather

Great Lakes Boating Weather provides NOAA marine weather for the Great Lakes, delivering real-time buoy data, 6-hour wave height trends, a 5-day NWS marine forecast, NOAA forecast discussions, and map overlays. It also includes NOAA severe weather notices and charts, making it easy to stay ahead of changing conditions while you’re on the water.

Tap anywhere on the map to view a spot-specific forecast. The app auto-saves the most recently viewed forecast for quick access, and offers overlays such as Raster Navigational Charts (RNC), Sea Surface Temperature, Significant Wave Height, wind, air temperature, wind, rain probability, and more. It’s available for iPad and iPhone with a single purchase. Note that NOAA point forecasts are USA-only and some buoys may be offline in winter. For questions, contact mwnbdc@gmail.com.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for accurate, up-to-date marine forecasts, ease of use, and useful features like buoy data, radar, and location-based summaries. However, multiple reviews cite inconsistent wave height data, a lack of harbor-specific detail, and concerns about value when updates aren’t delivered after purchase.

Pros

Accurate, up-to-date marine forecasts including wave heights for boating.
Very easy to use with concise forecasts and location-based summaries.
Buoy data and near-real-time sea conditions, plus radar and depth/hazards charts.
Helpful extras like NWS alerts on launch and an insightful discussion tab for longer-range forecasts.
Frequent updates with new features and generally good developer support.

Cons

Wave height predictions are inconsistent or inaccurate across different lakes/locations.
Forecast data is sometimes too generalized and lacks harbor-specific winds and water temperatures.
Perceived value issues when the app doesn’t seem updated after purchase.
