Subject: Are the coastal buoy locations correct?

In the wind reports, buoy 22 (Waddell) appears as follows:
0700 Buoy22Wadl 49 . 315 14 . . +0.04 waves 10 feet, 17 secs

Towards the bottom of the report, it appears again with the location
latitude 40.8...

But the Golden Gate buoy appears with lat 37.7, and Bodega Bay with lat
38.2. How can this be? Doesn't the latitude increase in value as you
move away from the equator (farther north in this hemisphere)?

Just curious,
Ben
