First Time Here?
Take a few moments to run through this tutorial and you'll see why Buoyweather is so powerful. Instead of trying to find information for a location, we've reversed the concept. You pick the location and we generate all the information for that exact spot! Try it and you'll realize why Buoyweather is the most capable marine forecasting system in the world.
Step 1: Pick your spot.
Start with the menus at the top and pick a location close to where you're interested.
2. Use the maps.
The Map is the heart of the engine. Use this to drill down to the exact location you're interested in (in this case - Newquay, Devon) - the map shows you the location of the nearest point too. (The orange target). If you don't care about finding the closest point, there are pre-defined Basic maps that will get you in the game a little faster.

3. The Marine Forecast summary.
Click on "DETAILED 7 DAY MARINE FORECAST" and you'll get your first glimpse at what Buoyweather can do. A 7 day work up of what to expect.
Notice too you've now got a lot more options on the left hand side.
4. Bookmark it!
Now, so you don't have to do steps 1-3 every time, click on the button marked "Add to favorites" and name your forecast.
5. Your first favorite.
Now every time you come back to Buoyweather, you'll have immediate access to this summary. And here's the best part:
EVERY OTHER LINK ON THE PAGE IS NOW BASED ON THIS LOCATION!
6. Other Items
Everything you see on the expandable menus on the left is now based on your specific location and you can bookmark as many or as few as you want. For example - if you click on the link for "Sea Temp" you get a regional Sea Surface Temperature chart for the South West of England! Cool huh?
