ProblemWhat it solves

The problem this tool solves

Over-water, seaplane and coastal flights need real sea-state data the land METAR network cannot provide.

Example interaction

Pilot asks

Buoy conditions off Half Moon Bay for a coastal flight?

Copilot responds

Buoy 46012: wind 310/18 kt, seas 7 ft @ 11 s, pressure 1018 falling, water 13°C. Choppy — consider an inland route.
