Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy observations on Mon, Jul 15, 2013
Hourly readings from the Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy for Mon, Jul 15, 2013, including available wave height, period, direction, wind and sea temperature data.
Period Summary
Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 1.5 ft (10th–90th percentile 1.1–1.8 ft), while mean peak wave period was 6 seconds (10th–90th percentile 4.4–9.9 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 0.5 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 0.4–0.7 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 1 of 144 checked values (0.7%) were excluded by quality control.

About Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy
Saint-Jean-de-Luz is a CANDHIS directional buoy on the French Basque coast near the Spanish border. Maintained through the Cerema-coordinated national observatory and local partners, it provides offshore context for a naturally embayed and partly protected coast exposed to southern Bay of Biscay swell.
Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread and sea temperature.
