Text a Weather Buoy Service - Very Cool

Recommended Posts

Hey everybody...just thought I would share a cool bit of technology I recently discovered.  

 

To get current data from a known weather buoy, simply text the weather buoy number to 734.201.0750

 

For those who fish Erie, the Port Colborne weather buoy is 45142.

 

You can find a complete list of Great Lake buoy numbers here:  http/glbuoys.glos.us/

 

Hope you find this useful!

If you want to check it online this link should work. It's the Canadian edition. Click the "weather conditions" and click the buoy you want to see.

If that one doesn't work here is the NOAA edition.

Online you can check the last 24hrs and see if it getting worse or better.
