Storm Glass

Verified Jul 2026

Storm Glass is a marine weather API that blends forecasts from NOAA, ECMWF, and the UK Met Office into unified ocean data - wave height and direction, swell, currents, tides, and water temperature - alongside standard weather parameters. It's aimed at surf, shipping, and ocean-research use cases that generic weather APIs don't cover.
