I should have checked myself - they do, lots!  

And I found this on the NOAA web site:

"Sea surface temperature sensors are located at a depth of 1.5 meters 
for 10-m and 12-m buoys and at 1 meter for all 3-m and 6-m moored buoys"

So the big bouys measure at five foot depth and the smaller ones at
a bit over three foot.

What I found interesting in searching for the same info from Environment
Canada was that the Canadian network of bouys are in the Atlantic and
Great Lakes but none are located in the Pacific waters.  Hey Doug! Don't
you guys pay taxes? :-)
