Hourly readings from the Belle-Île wave buoy for Thu, Sep 6, 2018, including available wave height, period, direction, wind and sea temperature data.
Period Summary
Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 3 ft (10th–90th percentile 2.6–3.4 ft), while mean peak wave period was 10 seconds (10th–90th percentile 9.8–10.2 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 2.5 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 1.8–3.3 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 3 of 144 checked values (2.1%) were excluded by quality control.

About Belle-Île wave buoy
Belle-Île is a CANDHIS directional buoy south of Brittany, maintained through the Cerema-coordinated sea-state observatory and research partners. Its open Atlantic position represents conditions approaching Belle-Île and the sheltered-to-exposed transition along the Morbihan coast.
Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread and sea temperature.
