NDBC Buoy & Station Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/1.15

Summary
National Buoy Data Center operates a network of 6 moored buoys and 8 coastal
stations in the Florida area. Data consist of temperature, barometric
pressure, wind speed/ direction (3-10 m), sea surface temp and wave energy
spectra at 1 h intervals (every 0.5 h for two buoys). Winds derived from 8 min
averages (buoys) or 2 min averages (coastal). Many stations include tide
gages.
