Period Summary
Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says48 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 3.2 ft (10th–90th percentile 2.9–3.9 ft), while mean peak wave period was 9 seconds (10th–90th percentile 5.6–12.1 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 3.3 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 2.6–5 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 5 of 144 checked values (3.5%) 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.
