Period Summary

Hog Says

1,482 wave-buoy observations covered all 31 days. Typical wave height was 1.8 ft (10th–90th percentile 0.9–3.1 ft), while mean average of more than one wave period type was 5 seconds (10th–90th percentile 2.7–7.9 seconds). Mean water temperature was 18.7°C (10th–90th percentile 17.4–19.7°C). All 5,907 checked values passed quality control. Across 10 comparable years, mean wave height was above the same-month mean of 1.8 ft and mean wave period was above the same-month mean of 4.9 seconds.

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.
