Weather
No dataAir temperature, wind, rain chance and UV for planning your day.
Weather adapters (NOAA + Cuba's INSMET) are the next feed to wire — each value will be stamped with its observation time and source.
Marine conditions
No dataSea-surface temperature, wave height, swell and currents for swimming, diving and boating.
Sea-state adapters (NOAA CoastWatch SST ~5 km, NHC marine, NDBC buoys) are queued next — near-real-time values, never a guessed number.
Water & safety
No dataWhether the water and conditions look manageable today for swimming or wading.
Once sea state and any advisories are connected, this frames conditions as favorable, use-caution, or not-recommended — always with the reason. It will never certify safety; final judgment is yours and the local lifeguard's.
