My opinion would be no. The NOAA buoys are typically too far away from a specific dive site, and they generally don’t reflect the true diving conditions because we are usually on a protected side of an island or on the mainland shore. The buoy date is really only good for water temp and if you happen to be doing an open ocean dive. I use at home more of the sites that the surfers use because it gets you a much closer representation. Save yourself the effort Greg.
