ODWeather API
Overview
ODWeather is a free weather and webcam API from OceanDrivers that provides real-time marine and coastal weather data including wind, waves, and temperature. No API key is required, making it quick to test in a browser or with curl. It is particularly useful for sailing, surfing, and outdoor coastal activity apps.
Beginner Tip
No authentication is needed — just call the REST endpoints directly. The API focuses on marine conditions, so it returns wind, sea temperature, and wave data rather than typical land-based weather like precipitation.
