Period Summary
Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says47 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 0.8 ft (10th–90th percentile 0.6–1 ft), while mean peak wave period was 8 seconds (10th–90th percentile 2.1–11.2 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 0.2 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 0.1–0.4 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 2 of 141 checked values (1.4%) 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.
