Coastal heat stays over water (land masked). Far-offshore buoys keep their own markers. Use View at or 7d history to scrub station temps (and currents once hourly snapshots exist). Open-Meteo heatmap stays live-only. Sources: NOAA CO-OPS, NDBC buoys, Open-Meteo. Temps from stations refresh about every 10 minutes; SST heatmap and currents about hourly.
