Period Summary

Hog Says

48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 10.7 ft (10th–90th percentile 8.3–15 ft), while mean average of more than one wave period type was 12.9 seconds (10th–90th percentile 10.7–14.6 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 55.8 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 35.6–131.9 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. All 143 checked values passed 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.
