Water buoy data system to stabilize an off-shore vessel

A water buoy data system for stabilizing a vessel, comprising:

• spaced apart water buoys configured to float in a water body and to sense wind characteristics and water characteristics at at least one location of the water buoys including a location of the vessel;
• at least one of the water buoys configured to wirelessly transmit communications containing data obtained from the sensed wind and water characteristics to a computer system;
• at least one of the at least one water buoys or the computer system configured to process the sensed wind and water characteristics at the location of the vessel using at least one of machine learning or computational analysis to determine wave forces at the location of the vessel;
• and the computer system configured to transmit a communication indicating the wave forces to control engine thrusters of the vessel to counter the wave forces and stabilize the vessel, based on the machine learning or computational analysis.

A water buoy data system for stabilizing at least one vessel floating in a body of water, comprising:

• spaced apart water buoys configured to float in the body of water and to sense wind and water characteristics at locations of the at least one vessel;
• the spaced apart water buoys configured to wirelessly transmit data messages indicating the sensed wind and water characteristics to a computer system;
