Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 7.4 ft (10th–90th percentile 5.7–8.5 ft), while mean peak wave period was 8 seconds (10th–90th percentile 6.6–8.7 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 16.9 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 10.8–24.9 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 144 checked values passed quality control.
