I have spent a fair amount of time on the NOAA website and I really like the capabilities of the NBDC, but it seems like most of the places I plan to boat only have half of the information listed. Why don't they list "wave height" for instance on the bouy inside of grays harbor? Back to top. Posted: Thu Jun 27, pm Post subject:. There is no anemometer on the buoy.

The current in Grays Harbor can be pretty strong and will carry your pots off in a heartbeat. If you're interested, the shell script code is below.

The NDFD is one example of this transformation. You can provide comments on this web service from the following page. The NDFD is updated no more than hourly. We request developers using this SOAP service for local applications only make a request for a specific point no more than once an hour. The database is currently updated by 45 minutes after the hour. Figure 1 provides a graphical view of the process. You can download several simple sample client applications by clicking on the following links:. NOTE : These clients are examples only and will not run as is.

In any case, here's the AppleScript. So, while NOAA has the data, it's not easy to get to all of it nor is all of it available for free. It's structured. The below script will create the weather variables in Indigo if they don't exist, so there's no Indigo changes that you need to do, other than, perhaps, creating a Scheduled task to run the below script as an external script file, not an embedded one on a regular basis. It's kind of odd, since NWS obviously forecasts the chance of rain a day or more in advance. I'm currently looking at the forecast for my area, through next Monday. Posted: Fri Jun 28, am Post subject:. I use that site and cross reference with a few others for my offshore trips. But for hours farther out, only 1 hour probabilities are given. Yea, the NWS probability is probably the original source for the Weather. It also gives prediction and weather prediction--no wave height.

Some buoys are specific in what they measure. Thanks for that, NSheldon. I check twice everyday during the week prior to going so I get a good feel for the weather pattern. However, it you click on the "Meteorological Observations for Nearby Stations and Ships" you can locate wind speeds and wind gusts in nearby Latitude and Longitude locations as the Waverider Buoy. There is no anemometer on the buoy. Unfortunately it doesn't provide other data like rain which is why we built the plugin to WeatherSnoop. I understand the need for constant change but I'm also a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kinda guy. This site is the most useful I have found for predicting ocean conditions. But for hours farther out, only 1 hour probabilities are given. Time values lower than the current time, represent seconds from midnight of the next day e. As for the limit of only 12 hours, I'm sure it has to do with the reliability of the prediction decreasing as the time of the prediction increases. The launch line gets pretty long early in the morning this time of year. I'm not sure if it'll provide enough forecast for you, weisswriter , but I use it to have Indigo verbally tell me if there's likely to be rain within a few hours as I'm leaving the house. I use an app: Windfinder Pro. I think.
