I'm not sure this is the right place for this question, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm looking for an API to get Waves height data for a surfing application I'm writing. I have no idea where can I find such a provider. Does Yahoo provide this kind of services? do they give you waves height information?

Also it has to have support for worldwide weather data.

thank you for any help.

I would look into the National Data Buoy Center, which collects wave height data worldwide with a focus on the US coast. They offer many ways to consume their data including KML download.
