I would go there from DB if you did Greg. The reason is clear, the long and short range surf reports are based on program calculations, they’re great for use in general, and sometimes very wrong. It goes with the whole forecasting dilemma of predicting what’s gonna be from storms thousands of miles away, they get updated of course.
To get what’s happening right now in terms of temps, swells, periods, winds at any buoy and one can find accurate data. In California it’s imperative to know accurate info at times. Some dive sites are far away 10, 20, 30 miles. Some private boaters don’t leave without knowing buoy data. I guarantee that Commercial Dive Boat Captains use them also. Even shore diving I can know where it is and when opposed to a website that only updates every few days.
