Great Lakes · Apple

A clearer read on your lake.

Wavy answers whether to launch: a go, a caution, or a no-go for the spot you care about. It reads public buoy and forecast data, then keeps the verdict on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.

Wavy is not for navigation or safety-of-life decisions. Verify conditions with official sources before heading out.

What the app does

A verdict, then the why

A score and a plain reason, such as wind building, from the deterministic engine on the device. Narration can rephrase that result. It does not decide it.

The day, and the official word

Hour-by-hour conditions, live observations, and National Weather Service marine forecasts and advisories. Station data can be delayed or far from your dock.

Cameras, with their own rules

Some shore cameras open on the operator’s site. NOAA BuoyCAM stills can be shown inside Wavy with NOAA attribution. Wavy does not imply a government endorsement.

Where it runs

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • Mac
  • Apple Watch
  • Widgets

The App Store listing is not open yet, so this site does not offer a download. Remote alerts, iCloud sync, and the Wavy+ subscription are not on sale and are not described here as live services.

What stays on the device

Location, once

If you allow it, Wavy takes one foreground location fix to rank nearby harbors. That fix is not uploaded and is not kept as a history.

No account

Wavy does not ask for your name or email. Favorites, boats, and outings stay in the app. There is no advertising identifier and no tracking.

Alerts are optional

Remote alerts are not a production service yet. If a future version registers this install, the privacy page lists exactly what would be stored to deliver them.

Wavy+

Wavy+ is the planned subscription for custom alerts, longer history, BuoyCAM history, and Float Plan. The core verdict and official advisories stay free. No price, trial, or purchase button is shown here until App Store Connect has them. Float Plan, when it is offered, checks conditions along your float. It is not a route and not a statement that the water is safe.
