What information does willy weather provide?

It delivers a snapshot of coastal and marine conditions tailored to your chosen spot – wind speed and direction, tide times, swell height and period, plus UV index and sunrise/sunset.

Wind data updates every 10 minutes from BOM weather stations and local buoys.
Tide predictions cover high and low water for the next seven days, with spring and neap phases marked.
Swell charts show primary and secondary swell direction, helping surfers and boaters read the ocean before heading out.
Radar loops (bom weather radar) overlay rain and storms, so you can see approaching fronts that may shift wind or sea state.

How does it differ from a standard BOM forecast?

While BOM weather supplies the raw observations and warnings, willy weather repackages that data into a location-specific, mobile-friendly dashboard. It strips away generalised metro forecasts and focuses purely on the coastline.

You can save favourite beaches, jetties or boat ramps to quickly compare conditions side-by-side.
Tide graphs are interactive – tap any point to see the exact time and height.
The willyweather radar view is zoomable, letting you track rain cells moving inshore.
Alerts for strong wind, dangerous surf or severe weather warnings are pulled automatically from BOM bulletins.

Is willy weather free to use?

Yes, the basic service is free and ad-supported. A premium tier removes ads and unlocks extended forecasts, push notifications and offline tide charts.

Does it work on the willyweather app?

The willy weather mobile app is available for iOS and Android and mirrors the website. It uses the same BOM feed, so you get live bom weather radar and tide data on the go.

How accurate are the tide and swell predictions?

Tide predictions are highly accurate – they derive from official BOM harmonic constants. Swell forecasts rely on numerical models and can shift; always cross-check with the live buoy data shown above.
