Ocean Conditions
"Oh the waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn the lonely sailor"
NOAA's National Data Buoy Center provides global coverage of ocean buoys.
NOAA's NowCoast includes many marine condition variables.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center provides information about the extent of sea ice in the Arctic.
The Port of San Diego's site shows real -time San Diego Bay wind, current and tides.
The U.S. Navy provides complete sun and moon positions for one day.

Ready for the StormThe status of the ocean on a day-to-day basis is of critical importance to much of the ocean community, whether they are lone sailors out on the sea, researchers studying the ocean, people playing in the ocean or workers doing business on the ocean. The links on this page mark a beginning in providing access to basic information about ocean conditions.
