Includes parking guidance with checkedAt and official sources (availability null), localGuide where researched, exact NOAA tideEvents ft MLLW, dated NWS regional surf/rip-risk reports for supported Los Angeles spots, detailStatus with separate issues/retrieval time, and planning.days with morning/afternoon ranges in America/Los_Angeles. Null regional/localGuide means unavailable, not safe conditions. locationCameras matches the requested spot and supplies snapshotPath for refreshing JPEG previews, mediaType and unknown capture times; previews are not live video. cameras retains regional camera source links and provider-hosted YouTube IDs where available; these views may differ from the requested break and stream uptime is not guaranteed. Preserve issues and timestamps. sourceStatus distinguishes retrieval, observedAt, issuedAt (null when unknown), forecast validFrom/validThrough, current/stale/unavailable/unknown states, refreshAfterSec and maxObservationAgeSec (Gillby policies, not provider SLAs). Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

The full conditions bundle for a named spot: current waves (ft, s, deg FROM), wind (kt), tide (ft MLLW), water temp (F), activity scores with reasons, 7-day hourly forecast, hi/lo tides, best windows, NWS alerts, rip/red tide/bacteria hazards, lightning and an AI briefing. Kitesurf: kiteboarding contains rider-specific weather screening and unverified launch status; supply kiteStyle, kiteExperience, kiteMinWindKt and kiteMaxWindKt. No overall kite score or verified launch is implied. Activities: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim scores are absent without shoreline observations; do not substitute other activity scores. Prefer view=summary unless you need every hour. boat=<id> adds boat-specific chop comfort. For an arbitrary lat/lon use get_point_conditions. Start here for a current spot question with view=summary: this single result includes forecast, tides, scores, advisories, hazards, lightning and source status. Avoid duplicate hazard/tide calls unless a needed detail is absent. For beach questions, sea-model wave heights and NWS breaking-surf heights measure different things; their difference alone is not a forecast conflict. A swim no-go must not be followed by a recommendation to wade. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt. Read kiteboarding for weather screening, gust spread and explicitly unverified launch status. Never infer the

The latest payload of one dataset from list_datasets, including sharks and jellyfish. These marine-life records are dated observations, not live beach warnings; no records does not imply absence. bbox filters list datasets; category filters USCG notices (e.g. bridge,hazard); homeZone=true limits discharges to the home zone; geometry=true includes MPA polygons. 503 when the dataset has never loaded. Shark, jellyfish and man-of-war records are dated published observations, not live tracking, beach warnings, abundance estimates or swimming-safety scores. Preserve observation dates, uncertainty, attribution and source availability. No records does not mean the animals are absent. Source checked time is not observation time. Man-of-war are siphonophores, not true jellyfish. Local lifeguard links are not ingested current warnings; check the source report date. Never apply NOAA's Chesapeake sea-nettle forecast to Florida. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

Activity keys: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim suitability is unscored without shoreline observations; missing scores must not inherit another activity. Offshore wind can favor surf while increasing paddleboard drift risk. A point depth cannot prove route clearance. Do not invent detection percentages, future readings, vessel ownership, or app settings instructions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM.

Hosted cold pins request worker publication and return 503 with Retry-After while pending; retry the same coordinate. Source times and coverage remain explicit. Returns 422 unprocessable when the point is on land (details.nearestSpot suggests a spot). Cold point processing can take longer than a named-spot read. Rate limited. Start here for a current spot question with view=summary: this single result includes forecast, tides, scores, advisories, hazards, lightning and source status. Avoid duplicate hazard/tide calls unless a needed detail is absent. For beach questions, sea-model wave heights and NWS breaking-surf heights measure different things; their difference alone is not a forecast conflict. A swim no-go must not be followed by a recommendation to wade. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt. Read kiteboarding for weather screening, gust spread and explicitly unverified launch status. Never infer the rider wind range, legal launch access or rescue coverage. Activity keys: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim suitability is unscored without shoreline observations; missing scores must not inherit another activity. Offshore wind can fa

Observed daily precipitation from NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily at one of six selected Florida airport stations, not archived forecasts. Required station, start and end (YYYY-MM-DD); completed dates only, 1900 onward, at most 366 inclusive days per request. Public, no API key. Returns daily values in inches, original flags, coverage, monthly summaries and totals. totalIn is null for incomplete coverage; partialTotalIn is only the sum of accepted reported values. Trace is not dry. Presumed-zero, incomplete-period and quality-flagged reports are excluded. Reporting dates are station climate days, not UTC hours. A station does not measure rainfall at a nearby beach, inlet or across a region. Recent records may lag or be revised. Use for how much precipitation fell: NOAA observed station records, not forecast archives. Preserve station, reporting dates, trace days, missing/excluded counts and coverage. Never present partialTotalIn as a complete monthly/yearly total. Station rainfall is not an area-wide measurement. Use get_rain for future amounts and get_history source=forecast:om_weather_best var=precip_in only for archived model estimates. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.

Published Florida shark research occurrences with observation dates, location uncertainty, source credits and licenses. Historical acoustic detections and tag releases, not live shark tracking or beach warnings. No records does not mean sharks are absent. Use bbox to narrow the published sample; limit defaults to 20 (maximum 100). Shark, jellyfish and man-of-war records are dated published observations, not live tracking, beach warnings, abundance estimates or swimming-safety scores. Preserve observation dates, uncertainty, attribution and source availability. No records does not mean the animals are absent. Source checked time is not observation time. Man-of-war are siphonophores, not true jellyfish. Local lifeguard links are not ingested current warnings; check the source report date. Never apply NOAA's Chesapeake sea-nettle forecast to Florida.

Predicted high and low tides (ft above MLLW, NOAA CO-OPS) for the next `days` days at a spot or lat+lon, the hourly tide height curve and inlet current (kt, + flood / - ebb), plus sunrise/sunset and moon phase. Times are ISO with the Eastern offset. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt.
