Real-time weather buoys

Click a buoy on the above map to see its most recent observations, or pick from this list:

The National Data Buoy Center operates a network of buoys and automatic land-based weather stations along the coast that gather meteorological and oceanographic data. They measure air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction. Many also measure sea surface temperature, wave heights, and wave periods. These observations are relayed by satellite to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which posts them on the Internet.
