How this service works
The nearest active NOAA/NDBC buoys and stations that report weather, with distance, owner and type.
Output
A JSON object containing the queried lat/lon, a list of nearest buoys (each with buoy ID, name, type, owner, coordinates, distance in km and nautical miles), total stations considered, a summary verdict, degraded status flag, source URL, and optional disclaimer or reasons fields.
Example use cases
Sailing route weather station lookup
“I'm heading out from latitude 34.0, longitude -119.7 — can you find the 3 closest active NOAA or NDBC buoys near there so I know which stations to monitor for conditions?”
Nearest buoy for offshore research vessel
“We're at 25.5 latitude and -80.1 longitude — give me the 5 nearest NDBC or NOAA buoys, their types, owners, and distances in nautical miles.”
Coastal emergency preparedness check
“What are the nearest active weather buoys to latitude 29.9, longitude -90.1 around New Orleans? Show up to 4 of them with distance and owner info.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://marine-conditions.x402tookit.com/nearest-buoy?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to discover which NOAA/NDBC buoys or stations exist near a geographic point before querying actual observations or tide data. It is the right first step when you have coordinates but don't yet know which station IDs to use for follow-up calls. Prefer this over manually maintaining a list of station IDs or when the user's location changes dynamically.
Side effects
- No active buoys found near the given coordinates (remote or inland location)
- Invalid or out-of-range lat/lon values causing a bad request
- NOAA/NDBC data source unavailable, returning degraded or empty results
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–10)
- Network timeout reaching upstream NOAA data
