    I noticed no swelle data in my forecast and then checked the NDBC page and there's been no data from the DE Bay buoy for about 24 hours. Also noticed no data coming from the two closest land stations (Bethany and OCMD). Does anyone know if this is some sort of planned outage for maintenace or what's going on if not?

    I guess ISIS, Obama and the Zika virus worked out their differences and got good ole 44009 back in working order where it is reading 2ft @ 6 sec this morning.

    Thats wierd...its not working for me this morning, and the weather services website says it will be down until October. What website are you using to get the data from 44009?

    No data:

    That was the swell data in the app for southern NJ; must have switched buoys? Wait, just checked the app and it is now reporting 44066. That's good I guess but either way it's - flatness for the week.

    Can you give me links with the issues? I'm still learning the system so I need to spelled out.

    These issues have to do with the actual buoys not the SwellInfo websuite. Don't think there's much you can do but it's awesome that you want to stay on top of things that way.

    The current conditions report for Ocean City Maryland is reporting data from buoy 44066 which is like 100 miles away from Maryland and way out to sea. Its not representative of OCMD conditions. If there isn't buoy nearby reporting wave data, using data from a buoy a long distance away isnt really a solution.
