I'll use this to check conditions of nearby stations immediately before a trip - for all US waters, muhc of the Caribbean, and even some of Europe:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/
Data varies from different stations, but typically one can obtain wind speed, air temp, wave information, and often - shallow water temperature!
hone: And I'll add nearby buoys for a trip to my cell phone, so I can call for information:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/dial.shtml
For speed dialing, I'll store - with the station name:
(1) (228) 688-1948 followed by a Hard Pause;
(2) then 1 followed by a Hard Pause;
(3) then the station ID number followed by # sign and a Hard Pause;
(4) then 1.
Hints: Don't rush the system; don't key the (Send) button until the the recording says "press one," then not until the recording says "press # sign."
