Just click on the links for local wx info. MLRF1, for example; is on Molasses Reef, 5 miles out off Key Largo. The offshore buoys include water temperature in the reported data.

 

For Key Largo and the Keys, a wind out of the east generally means waves building on the reef, so it would be barfy out there. For divers and snorkelers in the Key Largo area, check this in the morning and act accordingly, cancel if winds are substantial and out of the east.
