About Cleveleys wave buoy
Cleveleys is a National Network Datawell Directional WaveRider in about 10 metres of water off the Fylde coast. First deployed in June 2011, it records the eastern Irish Sea wave climate approaching Cleveleys and Blackpool and supports management of their heavily defended, low-lying frontage.
Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread and sea temperature.
