Does anyone know if there is some sort of archive for bouy data online? I dont think swell info has any such resource

No, but if you find one, please let us know. That's a dataset I've wanted to play with for a hot minute.

You can find recent data for each station on NDBC
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41002

but also historical for each station is found by scrolling to the bottom of the station page and clicking on "Historical Data and Climatic Summaries" link.

OR

If you don't know the station number use the classic maps >> historical to choose your region of interest.

Hope this helps.

Sweet! FYI 7zip will decompress gzip formats, you can download it here: http://www.7-zip.org/

You can also get it through the weather underground's marine weather section.

click your region, then a buoy.
There you can select a date (it only goes back so far).
It gives you a nice graph and table.

or from the magicseaweed.com site that we all know and love =) Data is questionable, but the output is very easy to read.
