      That's all. I've always thought that was a huge, missing part of Windy. As a selfish surfer, this would be incredibly helpful. Not having to have Windy and NDBC open in separate windows, or that sort of business.

      Thanks!

        Hi,
        NDBC buoy data are available on Windy. You need to select Reported wind to see the stations at sea.

        However these weather buoys are labelled (ship) in Windy. You can compare their identification number with those in NDBC data base in your area.
        Some are really ships.

          Thank you for the guidance! I simply searched under 'Layers' and came-up empty. But this is great.

          Is there a way to display the buoy wave/swell information?

            No unfortunately only the wind when you select Reported wind, and air temperature with Reported temperature.
