York Spit, VA

NDBC station 44072 (York Spit, VA) is a platform - special marine observation station at 37.201°N 76.266°W, operated by Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS). PierMonkey reads its observations straight from the NOAA National Data Buoy Center and republishes them free, with no account required to see current conditions.

It reports significant wave height, dominant and average wave period, wind speed, gusts and direction, air and sea-surface temperature, and barometric pressure; ocean-current profiles through the water column; and tide predictions from the nearest NOAA CO-OPS station.

The nearest surf break PierMonkey covers is Virginia Beach, roughly 49 km away. The buoy is not necessarily the forecast source for that break, but readings here are a useful cross-check on what is running in the area.
