How it works

    The ocean maps are updated once per hour, using the data collected by the NOAA data buoys.

    Data maps are generated for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and include air temperature, water temperature, wave height, wave period, wind direction, wind speed and barometric pressure.

    Suitability maps are generated for Surfing, Wind Surfing, Surf Fishing, and Beach Outings.
