Period Summary

Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says

48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 3 ft (10th–90th percentile 2.6–3.2 ft), while mean peak wave period was 4.4 seconds (10th–90th percentile 3.5–5.4 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 1.9 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 1.4–2.2 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 144 checked values passed quality control.

About Plateau du Four wave buoy

Plateau du Four is a CANDHIS station associated with the SEM-REV offshore test site off Loire-Atlantique. Located near a shallow offshore bank west of Le Croisic, it supplies environmental context for marine-energy research and for an exposed sector between the Loire estuary and southern Brittany.

Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread and sea temperature.
