About Chapel Point wave buoy
Chapel Point is a Channel Coastal Observatory wave station off the Lincolnshire coast near Chapel St Leonards. Its shallow North Sea setting records conditions approaching a low-lying, heavily managed sandy frontage north of Skegness, supporting flood and erosion monitoring.
Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread, wave power and sea temperature.
