Since March 9th, the NDBC servers have been down, so all systems that were tracking weather and/or sea state or otherwise dependant on the NDBC buoys have had no inputs.
No real-time data seems to be available to those systems being fed or which had been fed by this data. Be sure and check your weather data for real vs model data use. It's not sure when the system will be available.

"On 03/09/2021 the NDBC primary processing servers were shut off due to a facilities issue. Station pages on the NDBC website are not updating and there is no ETR at this time. We will update this banner as we learn more."
