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.

Fishing
No dataConditions for fishing, plus the standing reminder that legality is local.
Once sea state is connected, this shows whether conditions look workable — but it will always defer the question of whether fishing is permitted to local rules.
