Local North Carolina wave buoys are also listed on the map on the main surf reports page (the small circle icons) or here is a comprehensive list of buoys in the region:

41013 Frying Pan Shoals, NC
41025 Diamond Shoals
41035 Onslow Bay, NC
44014 Virginia Beach
The NOAA choose a number of buoy locations to issue full spectral forecasts for. Although the wave buoy doesn't actually have anything to do with the forecast (The SwellTrack spectral information is all produced by the NWWIII Model) it's useful to compare the SwellTrack with the actual observations to spot the arrival of a new swell front. These spectral
forecasts are simply
the most detailed idea of what's coming in the days ahead...
