Hourly marine conditions for any coastal coordinate as flat rows — wave height, period and direction. Free public API, no key.

What you get

latitude, longitude, time, waveHeightM, waveDirectionDeg, wavePeriodS.

The source returns parallel arrays (one per variable), so the coordinates are copied from the response root onto every row.

Sample output

{ "latitude": 25.04, "longitude": -80.04, "time": "2026-10-18T00:00",
"waveHeightM": 0.34, "waveDirectionDeg": 67, "wavePeriodS": 5.4 }

Limitations

  • A modelled forecast on a coarse grid, not a buoy reading. The nearest sea point can be several kilometres away and the grid does not resolve a harbour entrance.
  • Wave height is combined sea and swell, not swell alone, so it reads higher in a wind sea than a surfer's swell forecast would.
  • waveDirectionDeg is the direction the waves come from, in degrees, as the API defines it.
  • One coordinate per run. Inland coordinates return no sea data.

Fields

FieldTypeWhat it holds
latitudenumberLatitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). A STRING from some sources and a number from others — check the README per Actor.
longitudenumberLongitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). A STRING from some sources and a number from others — check the README per Actor.
timestringTime this row refers to.
waveHeightMstringSignificant wave height in METRES. 'Significant' is a specific statistical definition (roughly the mean of the highest third of waves), not the tallest wave.
waveDirectionDegstringDirection the waves travel FROM, in degrees.
wavePeriodSstringWave period in SECONDS. Longer periods generally mean more energetic swell.
