Wave-height forecast resolved at marine reference 44039. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.
NDBC BUZM3
RoleChecks recent observed wind, waves, and water temperature and helps fill gaps when the marine grid has no usable wave value.

Why this sourceChosen from the nearest aviation candidates that returned a current METAR or TAF report.
Data timingLatest METAR observation · 1 hr ago
ConfidenceThe source is 31.8 NM away, so local conditions may differ.
Nearest aviation candidates: KGON 31.8 NM, KBDR 37.3 NM, KWST 40.8 NM.
Hourly seas: NWS coastal marine-grid wave height is preferred when available. Gaps fall back to the latest NDBC wave observation projected with forecast wind; fallback values are planning estimates, not NOAA wave forecasts.
Verdict: Go, Caution, No-Go, or Incomplete is derived from the boat limits you select for wind and seas.
