Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 3.2 ft (10th–90th percentile 2.8–3.8 ft), while mean peak wave period was 5 seconds (10th–90th percentile 4.4–5.4 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 1.9 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 1.5–2.9 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 144 checked values passed quality control.
