About this buoy

West Tampa is a moored weather buoy in the Gulf Coast — 112 NM WNW of Tampa, FL. It reports wind speed and direction with gusts, air pressure, and air and water temperature, and — where wave sensors are fitted — significant wave height and dominant wave period. Reports arrive about hourly and are served here live from NOAA's CoastWatch ERDDAP as they land.
