# Saylor Innovations NOAA NDBC Buoy Observations

> Saylor Innovations NOAA NDBC Buoy Observations is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-18).

Returns real-time NOAA NDBC buoy observations for a given station, including wind, wave, pressure, air/water temperature, and 24-hour extremes.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/marine/buoy/:station?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/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 saylor-innovations-noaa-ndbc-buoy-observations-94ebb4af
```

Example prompt: What are the current conditions at NOAA buoy station 44025 — I need wind speed, wave height, water temperature, and the pressure trend right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time marine environmental observations from a specific NOAA NDBC buoy station by ID, particularly for offshore or coastal conditions including wave state, wind, pressure trends, and water temperature. Prefer this over general weather APIs when you need ocean-specific data such as wave height/period or sea surface temperature directly from a buoy sensor.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown station ID returns an error or empty result
- Station temporarily offline or not reporting returns no data
- NOAA NDBC data feed outage causes fetch failure
- Station exists but has sensors offline, resulting in partial data

## How this service works

NOAA NDBC buoy observations - wind, gust, wave height and period, pressure and 3-hour trend, air and water temperature and 24-hour extremes

## Output

Returns a structured observation record from the specified NDBC buoy station, including wind speed and direction, wind gust, significant wave height, dominant wave period, atmospheric pressure and 3-hour trend, air temperature, water temperature, and 24-hour high/low extremes for relevant parameters.
