Bombora 1.0.2 Submitted to Apple
Things have settled down a bit after a big week of WWDC-goodness, and we wanted to communicate a little about the next couple versions of Bombora. The feedback we've received, while mostly positive, has been clamoring for additional data in Bombora... The NDBC has a vast network of stations that provide us with access to meteorological data. Weather instruments can be placed just about anywhere, so we see data not only from buoys, but from lighthouses, lightships, the tidal observation network, and more. Not all of the stations have a complete set of instrumentation, in fact, most of them only provide ...

Beat Bogus Surf Forecasts With Buoys
In typical fashion, I stumbled upon an entertaining buoy-related rant about four months after it was published over at Transworld Surf. Incited by a predicted swell that more than managed to disappoint, it encourages everyone to learn the buoys as a tool for your surf forecasting arsenal (and refers to the excellent lajollasurf.org.) After last weekend’s debacle of a surf forecast from every major... [Read more]

I’m always excited to see a new result for Bombora pop up, although sometimes it’s Bombora Vodka or The Bomboras (surf band) that are the topic of discussion, and not our useful surf and ocean...
