Live marine conditions from an NDBC buoy: wave height/period/direction, wind speed/gust/direction, sea-surface temperature, air temperature, barometric pressure, and dew point. All values are SI units — wind in m/s, wave height in m, pressure in hPa, temperatures in °C. Exceptions: TIDE is in feet and VIS is in nautical miles (rarely populated at offshore buoys). Numeric fields are null when the buoy sensor did not report a value — this is normal for offshore buoys. Observations are updated approximately every 10 minutes; data may be 10–20 minutes old. Use noaa_marine_find_stations with source="ndbc" and types=["met"] to find station IDs near a location — met-flagged stations are the ones most likely to serve live conditions. Roughly a third of active NDBC stations report neither meteorological nor current data, and most of those have no observation file, so omitting the types filter will surface station IDs this tool cannot read.
