## What is ReefCast Marine Weather?

ReefCast provides you with the most accurate and confident forecast available, so you can spend your time fishing, instead of worrying about the weather.

Pick any point on the water and the simplicity of the ReefCast design provides the key weather information you need in one easy graphic, without unnecessary features you will never use.

While other Apps provide the standard NOAA Wavewatch III® forecast and buoy data, ReefCast goes one step further.  The ReefCast Interactive Model shows a more accurate 3 mile by 3 mile forecast that is based on our proprietary software model. The ReefCast Ensemble Model will then simultaneously display the confidence you should have in the forecast for your selected location.  No other forecasting tool gives you this essential level of detail.

With the basic app, you can:
·      View the National Weather Service Forecast – displays the NWS forecast for your location

·      View Buoy data – displays the latest data output from buoys measuring wind speed, air temperature, water temperature, wave height, and more


With the Premium ReefCast Subscription you gain access to:
·      The Reefcast Interactive Model – displays a 7-day forecast of Wind Direction, Wind Speed, Wave Height, and Wave Period in one simple graph

·      The Reefcast Ensemble Model – displays a “behind the scenes” look at the model to show you how accurate the forecast will be over the next 7 days

### 2/5 — Not getting g what I paid for.

*2025-03-29*

I have subscribed to ReefCast but can’t view the interactive models that is specified in the description.  Is there something else I need to do? I can only view bouy information and NWS reports.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-05-17*

This does not work. Don’t wast your time. Fix it captain Dave

### 4/5 — Great resource, but needs a fix for iPhone X.

*2018-05-14*

When looking at the wave forecast, it’s very difficult to select ‘Done’ since the app does not take into account the cutout on the iphoneX. 

Outside of that, I love the app and use it whenever I plan on going offshore.
