Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

47 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 1.8 ft (10th–90th percentile 1.4–2.6 ft), while mean peak wave period was 11.7 seconds (10th–90th percentile 7.1–15.4 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 0.8 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 0.5–3.4 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 2 of 141 checked values (1.4%) were excluded by quality control.
