# NOAA Buoy Weather

> NOAA Buoy Weather is a paid API for AI agents from 164.160.90.241.sslip.io, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Fetches the latest NOAA NDBC buoy observation including wind, wave, pressure, and temperature data for a given station ID.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://164.160.90.241.sslip.io/api/oracle-weather-buoy?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability noaa-buoy-weather-f943fa70
```

Example prompt: What are the current wave height, wind speed, and water temperature at NOAA buoy station 46026 off San Francisco right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time marine and coastal weather observations from a specific NOAA NDBC buoy station, particularly for sailing, surfing, fishing, or storm monitoring. Prefer it over generic weather APIs when ocean-specific measurements like wave height, wave period, and water temperature are required. Best for US coastal, offshore, and Great Lakes locations where NDBC maintains buoys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent station ID returns an error or empty result
- Station temporarily offline or not reporting returns no data
- Some buoys only report a subset of parameters (e.g. no wave data for land-based stations)
- Data may be delayed if the buoy's transmission is interrupted

## How this service works

Latest NOAA NDBC buoy observation: wind direction/speed/gust, wave height and period, pressure, air and water temperature.

## Output

Returns the most recent observation from the specified NOAA NDBC buoy station, including wind direction (degrees), wind speed (m/s or knots), wind gust, significant wave height, dominant wave period, barometric pressure (hPa), air temperature (°C), and water temperature (°C) — all timestamped to the latest available reading.
