Bombora iPhone Buoy Feeds
A nifty little app not yet released to the public is Bombora. I think basically it displays real-time buoy feeds and tide predictions and though it will be a little while before the reviews are out telling us whether or not it’s worth the $9.99 introductory iPhone app price (where most apps seem to be 2 bux or less), it’s sure to be more accurate than Surfline’s Oakley Surf Report, that seems to only work about 25% of the time. Which means in surf-starved NY that if by chance we are getting a swell, the Oakley Surf Report probably won’t be giving an accurate real-time description of tide, wind, swell direction, and wave height stats (but Surf Report is free and I guess free misinformation in techniculture is par for the course these days, so I probably shouldn’t complain).
