Know before you go. Boating Days turns raw weather data into a single 0–10 boating score so you can decide at a glance whether it's worth launching the boat. How it works Every score is built from the conditions that actually matter on the water — wind speed and gusts, precipitation chance, thunderstorm risk, visibility, cloud cover, and temperature. A severe thunderstorm or 25+ mph gusts automatically cap the score so a sunny sky never hides a dangerous forecast. Free features • Today score for your current location • Search any lake, reservoir, pond, or bay by name or zip code • Home screen and lock screen widgets showing the current-location score • Save 1 favorite lake for instant access Boating Days Pro • Unlimited favorite lakes — score every spot you fish, sail, or cruise • Calendar & trip planner — schedule boating days and watch the forecast evolve as the date approaches • Hourly forecast charts — see wind, rain chance, and score hour by hour through your planned trip window • Forecast summary — peak wind, temperature range, rain risk, and storm risk at a glance for your exact departure-to-return window • Score history — sparkline chart showing how conditions have changed since you first planned a trip • Push notifications: – Forecast Change: score shifts 1.5+ points for an upcoming event – Weather Warning: poor conditions forecast within 48 hours – Great Day Alert: excellent conditions forecast within 48 hours – Event Reminder: personalized pre-trip summary with current score and conditions • Widget for any favorite lake — configure your home screen widget to show any lake you've saved, not just your current location Powered by Apple WeatherKit Forecasts are sourced directly from Apple WeatherKit for accuracy and privacy — no third-party accounts required.
