Hourly readings from the Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy for Fri, May 12, 2017, 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 ft (10th–90th percentile 0.8–1.3 ft), while mean peak wave period was 7.6 seconds (10th–90th percentile 4.7–9.8 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 0.3 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 0.2–0.5 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 2 of 144 checked values (1.4%) were excluded by quality control.
Generated only from the observations and comparisons shown on this page.

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.
