I suppose its helpful if youre lucky enough to be near one of the few buoys it has. Unfortunately there are no buoys near me so I wasted my money on this.

Great app,very intuitive to use. With all the major NOAA buoys available, the info supplied from the buoys lets you know what is happening with the ocean direct from the NOAA buoys. Watching the ocean while checking the buoy data on your iphone gives you insight for later as to what the conditions are when you cant see the ocean, a great learning tool. Finding buoys at other locations is a snap also.

Waste of money for socal

My cousins are all pro surfers and use this app all the time. I am just learning, but I love reading the data and seeing where the swells are. Highly recommended!!!!
