Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

45 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 6.6 ft (10th–90th percentile 5–7 ft), while mean average of more than one wave period type was 10.8 seconds (10th–90th percentile 9.7–11.7 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 18.5 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 9.8–21.8 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 134 checked values passed quality control.
