Common questions

How often does buoy guxa2 report?

Does this page show NOAA warnings for this area?

Watches, warnings, and advisories for Icy Strait appear alongside the conditions, here and in the app. Pro also pushes NOAA watches, warnings, and advisories when they are issued.

Can I see the forecast against what buoy guxa2 measured?

This page shows measurements only. Buoycast Pro charts the NOAA forecast against them so you can see where the two diverge.

Can I keep buoy guxa2 for next time?

Save it as a favorite and Buoycast opens on the buoys you run.

What this buoy measures

This buoy is not reporting waves or water temperature. Conditions above come from the sensors it does carry, and the forecast, tides and sun times on this page are regional rather than measured at the buoy.
