I just contacted Weather Underground support and:
"The marine weather has been retired. It may be up and down before it’s gone for good, but it is on its way out. Thank you for using Weather Underground!"
Its very unfortunate. They used to have a great boating app (gone) and Storm was excellent until they scrapped it for a more generalized app across disparate use cases. Getting aquired by IBM has not been good for WU. All of the different apps use the same National Weather Service info for coastal forecasts and buoy reports. Some also use different models to influence their forecasts. Predict Wind does a nice job for wind/seas forecast planning. I do not know of a single app that does all of it well (Radar, Wind, Seas, general soccer mom/dad weather, Active Captian, and charting. Bluechart Mobile came close...
