Hello everyone,

I just released a plugin that lets you display wave buoys on the Windy map. It shows the last wave height value by default at the exact location of the buoy and if you click you can see details like period and swell direction.

For now I included the NOAA NDBC buoys network and some other sources in Europe such as Candhis (Cerema) for France, ISPRA (Mareografico) in Italy Puerto in Spain Cefas for the UK and more to come!

Here is a link to the current version that works pretty well. I'll update this post if I update it!

Hope you like it! Feedback more than welcome so we can build this thing together.

I built the API myself and I’m not using all the data I have to keep things simple but the âme API power my mobile apps called The Buoy (iOS/android) if you want to have a look https://labouee.app/

Greats news @ivo did you mean 2025?

@pavelmedia said in List of Finished Windy Plugins (v42+):

@Thomas-Cailhol Thanks, looking better now. One last thing is that once the plugin is closed, the displayed markers stay on the map. It's a good practice to reset all markers and listeners on unmount so users don't have to reload the site if they want to close the plugin. Can you fix this?

Good catch again! Thats fixed in https://windy-plugins.com/15078611/windy-plugin-the-buoy/0.1.5/plugin.min.js

Good catch @pavelmedia sorry I just ran it. Not very used to this workflow yet but thanks for the heads up. Should be good now the link is https://windy-plugins.com/15078611/windy-plugin-the-buoy/0.1.4/plugin.min.js

@pavelmedia should be all good! Thank you!

Here is the link to the new version: https://windy-plugins.com/15078611/windy-plugin-the-buoy/0.1.3/plugin.min.js

Hi @idefix37 thank you and sorry for bothering you with all the messages. I thought it would just make sense to at least just reply in threads talking about having those data on the Windy map (that I personally have followed for a while). Other than that I just submitted it in the dedicated thread + made a post here because I’m not sure that many people interested about those data are gonna go there and scroll tens of submissions messages hoping to find someone talking about integrating those data in a plugin. That’s basically the only way I found to try and share my work.
Maybe I was just a bit too excited after spending so many hours working on it.

Hey @windy_lukas I just release a plugin to integrate wave buoys data in the Windy map! I'm from France so you can find all the french buoys from CEREMA out of the box!

You can add it using this link on desktop: https://windy-plugins.com/15078611/windy-plugin-the-buoy/0.1.3/plugin.min.js

Hey guys I just release a little plugin that shows NDBC wave data (and more sources)!

Let me know what you think!
