About the Data

My Ocean Data combines current National Weather Service observations with NOAA National Data Buoy Center marine observations.

Ocean measurements come from nearby offshore stations and may not exactly match conditions at the shoreline. Missing measurements are displayed as a dash rather than estimated.

Excellent, Good, Fair and Poor ratings are calculated by My Ocean Data. They are not official NOAA, National Weather Service, swimming or surf safety ratings.
