You can start here <https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/>.
They offer RSS feeds <https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/rss_access.shtml> which can be parsed fairly easily with Python’s feedparser. And a web page widget here <https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/widgets/>. For example, this pasted into a web page gets you the buoy data for 46237, the San Francisco Bar buoy (though it used iframes which may not suit you.) <iframe src="https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/widgets/station_page.php?station=46237"; style="border: solid thin #3366ff; width:300px; height:300px"></iframe> And a guide to their various data sources <https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/docs/ndbc_web_data_guide.pdf>.
