A Python interface to National Data Buoy Center data.

## Getting started

```
pip install git+https://github.com/wavebitscientific/ndbc
```

## Usage

```python
from ndbc import Station
from datetime import datetime

# initialize without getting the data
station = Station(42001)

station.name
# 'MID GULF - 180 nm South of Southwest Pass, LA'

station.lon
# -89.668

station.lat
# 25.897

# initialize and get the data
station = Station(42001, datetime(2017,10,1), datetime(2017,11,1))

# get a different time window
station.get_stdmet(datetime(2015,1,1), datetime(2017,1,1))

```
