Wavy: Water Conditions

Know when to go. Wavy brings Great Lakes wind, waves and forecasts together around your harbor and your boat. See how the day is shaping up, find a window that fits your comfort preferences, and make a plan before you leave the dock. READ TODAY AT A GLANCE Start with a clear daily read, available measured conditions and the hours ahead. Scrub the forecast ribbon to explore an hour, then open the detail behind it. Source labels, observation times and missing-data states help you judge how much information is available. FIND YOUR WINDOW Compare wind, gusts and waves with the comfort limits you choose for your boat. Look across the week, pick a day and save an outing plan. Wavy explains its suggestions so you can weigh them alongside official marine guidance and your own experience. MAKE IT YOUR BOAT Add your boat's make, model and optional specifications, or start browsing without a boat profile. Switch between boats and keep their comfort preferences separate. Save favorite harbors and explore nearby alternatives on the lake map. A BRIEF BEFORE YOU GO Read a short daily brief covering your window, what is changing and the days ahead. An optional Morning read reminder opens the latest brief at the time you choose. Departure and check-in reminders help keep your own plans in view. KEEP THE OUTING TOGETHER Start an outing with a planned return time. Underway brings conditions, a suggested head-back time and marked moments together. With location permission, Wavy can save an outing track locally and show the straight-line distance back to the harbor. This is context for your judgment, not a navigable route or a rescue service. CLOSE AT HAND See Wavy through Home Screen widgets, Siri and Shortcuts, Live Activities, Dynamic Island and the Apple Watch companion. Availability and updates depend on your device, permissions and the information Wavy last received. LOOK BACK AND LEARN Keep saved plans, your active outing and history together. Note how an outing felt and review suggested comfort changes; you decide whether to apply them. Large text, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion are supported. FREE TO EXPLORE No account or subscription is required for the launch release. Browse conditions, save harbors, add boats and plan outings for free. COVERAGE AND SOURCES Built around U.S. Great Lakes harbors and Lake St. Clair, with information from NOAA, the National Weather Service, USGS and Environment and Climate Change Canada. Coverage, reporting seasons and freshness vary. Some locations have partial data; missing readings never mean calm water. Wavy supports planning and personal comfort decisions. It does not establish safe passage, replace navigation charts or measure wave height with your phone. Always check current official forecasts, advisories, local notices and actual conditions before heading out. Scenic photographs and water effects are illustrative.
