About Nymindegab wave buoy

Nymindegab is a Danish Coastal Authority directional buoy in the North Sea off the southern part of Jutland's exposed west coast. The station supports long-term understanding and management of the sandy barrier coast around the southern end of Ringkøbing Fjord and the Lodbjerg–Nymindegab protection area.

Its current data source reports wave height, wave period and wave direction.
