Waterscope Weather Status

The Earth view shows the last 24 hours of satellite imagery near your current location (the small blue dot is you! ) Tap the + button to see a larger version of the latest image.  This view of the sea shows markers for observations collected by the National Data Buoy Center.  This view shows nearby tide stations: tap on any marker to get the current prediction at that location.  The arrow shows wind direction and tapping the marker shows the air temperature, wind speed with gusts, and barometric pressure.  The clock at the bottom shows the current time, or the time for past data samples and future forecasts.  The hurricane symbol at the top of the view will show the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane Center.  The Moon view shows the phase and location of the Moon for the next year.  When you launch Waterscope, you'll be presented with a screen that shows a graph of high and low tides for the nearest measuring station.  The arrow points in the directions waves are heading: tap it to show water temperature, wave height, and an average period between waves.  The data presented comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS).  Like the view of the sea, but with onshore observations collected by the National Weather Service.  To make any buoy's data show up on the home screen, tap the heart icon.  These are followed by wind speed and air temperature measurements for a nearby NWS weather station.  Like the other map views, the tide station can be added to the main screen using the heart icon.  Tapping on the icon in the upper-left corner will show an overlay that explains the symbols and markers.  Whether you're surfing, fishing, boating, or just taking the dog for a walk on the beach, Waterscope will keep you informed about your local conditions.
