Open ocean and other waters

Heights are significant wave height at each buoy, not surf height at a beach. Live: a wave reading in the last 3 hours, or longer for sources that publish late. Stale: older than that. Offline: no wave reading in 30 days. Each buoy page names its data source and licence. Not for navigation.
