Weather
No dataAir temperature, wind, rain chance and UV for planning your day.

Sea-state adapters (NOAA CoastWatch SST ~5 km, NHC marine, NDBC buoys) are queued next — near-real-time values, never a guessed number.

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.
