I have spent a fair amount of time on the NOAA website and I really like the capabilities of the NBDC, but it seems like most of the places I plan to boat only have half of the information listed. Why don't they list "wave height" for instance on the bouy inside of grays harbor? Back to top. Posted: Thu Jun 27, pm Post subject:.

As for the limit of only 12 hours, I'm sure it has to do with the reliability of the prediction decreasing as the time of the prediction increases.

The NDFD is one example of this transformation. You can provide comments on this web service from the following page. The NDFD is updated no more than hourly. We request developers using this SOAP service for local applications only make a request for a specific point no more than once an hour. The database is currently updated by 45 minutes after the hour. Figure 1 provides a graphical view of the process. You can download several simple sample client applications by clicking on the following links:. NOTE : These clients are examples only and will not run as is. To run the script, you will need to install a number of supporting software applications.

Why don't they list "wave height" for instance on the bouy inside of grays harbor? You'll notice that the Weather. Also, note that the output of the time value is in seconds from midnight just like how AppleScript calculates time when you get the "time of current date " value. C-Dawg sold November This script will automatically create any Indigo weather variable that doesn't already exist. Tacoma-Seattle is only 30 minutes. NSheldon, thanks for the info. Weather conditions look like crossing the bar would be no trouble at all with only a 4' swell with very little wind. From the official NOAA website: Covering the sun to the seas, the National Weather Service provides local and regional forecasts, and emergency alerts for severe storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, extreme heat, winter storms, fire threats, tsunamis and solar flares. At the moment, I can do the latter but not the former. This weekend looks like it will be really calm in Westport if you decide to go. The current in Grays Harbor can be pretty strong and will carry your pots off in a heartbeat. So with THAT in hand, I hope NSheldon or some other enterprising and capable dev will be inspired to create a plug-in that pulls probability of precipitation data along with whatever else seems useful directly from the horse's mouth for at least a day or two or a user-selectable period in advance, and get it into Indigo where it can be used to make irrigation and perhaps other decisions. I'd like to take the boat down to greys harbor and spend some time dinking around there for crab and maybe venture beyond but its about 2.

But it certainly looks as though the data is available - it's just a matter of getting and parsing it. The second field is the percentage chance of precipitation for that time period. Time values lower than the current time, represent seconds from midnight of the next day e. So with THAT in hand, I hope NSheldon or some other enterprising and capable dev will be inspired to create a plug-in that pulls probability of precipitation data along with whatever else seems useful directly from the horse's mouth for at least a day or two or a user-selectable period in advance, and get it into Indigo where it can be used to make irrigation and perhaps other decisions. I still always check before I go, but if something were to change its not as big of a let down as a 5hr roundtrip drive to the coast. There is no anemometer on the buoy. If you're interested, the shell script code is below. I believe there was a feed I found that had forecast information but we decided to not to use it for several reasons: It would have been challenging to match the NOAA weather station ID we use for the first feed to the forecast data feed since the data comes from two completely different systems at NOAA. It's structured. I appreciate it. Plus, there are pot bandits in the area; you'll want to stay close and monitor.
