surf_get_spot_status

What the water is doing at one surf spot now: the nearest NOAA wave buoy (wave height, period and direction, swell and wind waves apart, water temperature, wind) with its measurement time, the next high and low tides, and a 7-day model swell forecast with morning wind. Where no buoy reports nearby (most spots outside the US) the "now" values are model values and say so. Accepts a spot id or name. Heights in metres with feet in brackets.

surf_search_spots

Find the surf spots this server covers, by name, id, area (e.g. "Oahu", "California", "Bali") or country. Returns spot ids for surf_get_spot_status. Leave query empty to list everything.
