Buoyweather has been a favorite for surfers, boaters, and anglers needing detailed marine weather forecasts since the early 2000s. But maybe you're just not getting out on the water enough to justify the cost. With subscription prices from $14.99 to $99.99, you can save up to $100 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android. Honestly, after binging '100 Foot Wave,' everyone feels like a pro surfer for a week, but then the subscription just sits there.
How to Cancel Buoyweather Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on your computer is probably the easiest way. I found the button without too much trouble, but you do have to click through a couple of menus. Just stay focused and don't get distracted by the pretty weather charts.
1 Log In to Your Account
Head over to the Buoyweather website and sign in. This is the most direct route.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
Click on your profile icon or name, which is usually in the top-right corner of the page, and find the link for Account Settings.
3 Find the Subscription Section
In your account area, look for a tab or section labeled 'Subscription' or 'Manage Subscription'. This is where the magic happens.
4 Click Cancel Subscription
You should see a 'Cancel Subscription' button or link. Click it. You'll likely have to confirm your choice on a follow-up screen. They might ask why, but you can just select any reason.
How to Cancel Buoyweather Subscription on iOS
If you subscribed on your iPhone, you have to cancel through Apple, not the Buoyweather app itself. It's an Apple rule, which is a little annoying, but the process is straightforward once you know where to look.
1 Open Your iPhone/iPad Settings
Forget the Buoyweather app. You need to open the main Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap your name and Apple ID banner right at the top of the Settings screen.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
From the list, select 'Subscriptions'. This will show you everything you're subscribed to through Apple.
4 Find Buoyweather in the List
Scroll through the list to find Buoyweather and tap on it.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
Tap the red 'Cancel Subscription' button at the bottom. Once you confirm, you're all set. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel Buoyweather Subscription on Android
For Android users, the cancellation process runs through the Google Play Store. Weirdly, I had to refresh the subscriptions page once for it to show up, so give it a second if you don't see it right away.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top-right corner to open the menu.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
In the menu, select 'Payments & subscriptions', and then on the next screen, tap 'Subscriptions'.
4 Select Buoyweather
You'll see a list of your active subscriptions. Find Buoyweather and tap on it to manage it.
5 Tap 'Cancel subscription'
Tap the 'Cancel subscription' button at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to confirm. It's that simple.
Cancel Buoyweather Subscription with email
If the self-serve options aren't working, you can email the support team directly at support@buoyweather.com or use the contact form on their support page. Don't expect an immediate response; it can take a business day or two to hear back, so this isn't a great last-minute option.
Before you cancel, just know that Buoyweather doesn't offer refunds for partial subscription periods. If you cancel a day after your renewal, you won't get your money back for that month or year. The good news is you get to keep using the premium features until your current billing period ends. Your saved forecast locations should still be there if you ever decide to resubscribe.
Buoyweather Plans and Pricing 2025
| Plan | Price | Details |

| Premium (Monthly) | $14.99/month | This unlocks everything: 17-day forecasts, advanced high-resolution wind models, real-time buoy data, and no ads. |
| Premium (Annual) | $99.99/year | You get all the same features as the monthly plan, but it saves you about $80 a year. It's the better deal if you use it constantly. |
