Boating Weather for iPad

Boating Weather shows National Weather Service marine forecasts for selected US coastal zones.

Our take

Consider as an additional forecast view before boating

Favorites, wind/wave details and small-craft advisories consolidate zone checks.

Keep in mind: Verify the correct coastal zone and current official warnings; no forecast display guarantees safe conditions. Publisher says a NOAA-endpoint issue was updated, which is a claimed fix rather than tested reliability.
