Thanks x-y-no, I now see the Buoy number at the top of the chart.

In the middle of the red I suspect that is normal and anything above and below the red is above and below normal. Am I correct to think this?

Therefore the water temperature at Buoy 42040 is normal average temperature right now as the bouy is reporting 20.4 degrees on the top line from the link you provided.
