Helm WX Marine Weather & Tides

No subscription. No ads. Pay once, own it forever. Real NOAA data — wind, waves, and tides for boating, sailing, and fishing. $4.99.

Helm WX gives you the marine weather data that actually matters — wind, waves, sea state, and tides together in one clean view. Built for boaters, sailors, and anyone who needs to know what the water is doing before they go out.

Live data from real sources Helm WX pulls directly from NOAA weather stations, offshore buoys, and tide gauges — not a statistical model. You get actual observed conditions from the nearest station to wherever you're headed.

Wind, waves, and tides — together Most weather apps show you one or the other. Helm WX shows wind speed and direction, wave height and period, sea state, and a full tide chart all on the same screen. Everything you need to make a go/no-go call in one place.

Works anywhere in the world Enter coordinates, drop a pin on the map, search by city or port name, or tap Use My Location. Helm WX works offshore too — not just coastal areas.

Save your spots Save up to 10 favorite locations and load them with one tap. Set a default home port and the app knows where to look first.

Daily report notifications Schedule a morning push notification for your saved location. Know the conditions before you leave the dock.

No subscription. No ads. Pay once, own it forever. $4.99 gets you the full app with no recurring charges, no data paywalls, and no ads cluttering up your screen while you're trying to read a wind barb.
