Innovative and unique application which shows water level, tide predictions and buoy data combined with augmented reality and real-time buoy tracker.
Tides Deluxe shows tide predictions for 4000+ US coastal locations, including Alaska and Hawaii. No internet connection required for tide prediction calculations.
Real-time data are collected from 200+ buoys from NOAA Sensor Observational Service. It requires internet connection. Not all buoys provide wind data. Some of them collect information about humidity or water temperature. Use the map to explore.
