Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 9.1 ft (10th–90th percentile 8.3–9.8 ft), while mean peak wave period was 9 seconds (10th–90th percentile 8.4–9.9 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 31.6 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 23.4–36 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 144 checked values passed quality control.
