PRAISE FOR BOMBORA
"Before this app came out, I had three tide apps, the Surfline app, and a buoy app. Most of the time to check secret spots, I'd have to spend a while on the Internet on various NOAA sites and forecast sites to check the specific conditions in order for it to work. This app makes it a lot easier to figure out if I should drive the three hours to get some waves or not."

"This app is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone who surfs, body-boards, kayaks, etc, or just walks on the beach.. Seriously, the amount of information you can get by just touching a button is ASTOUNDING. Honestly, a one-time fee for a lifetime of info--what could possibly hold you back?! I am not a surfer, but Bombora is the first thing I check before choosing the best beach nearest me to walk my dog. A must have, for sure, for any beach-goer, anywhere on this planet."

Can't access NOAA near coastal and off shore marine forecast. This is probably the most important peace of info for any one on the water and it's not hear? Strange a 3$ app does not include this? The the buoy information was well organized.
