Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 7 ft (10th–90th percentile 5.2–14 ft), while mean peak wave period was 12.5 seconds (10th–90th percentile 7.7–17.1 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 16.8 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 9.2–112 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 144 checked values passed quality control.
