Period Summary
Programmatically generated summary. Hog Says46 wave-buoy observations were recorded during the day. Typical wave height was 6 ft (10th–90th percentile 5.2–6.8 ft), while mean average of more than one wave period type was 6.9 seconds (10th–90th percentile 6.5–7.3 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 14.1 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 9.7–19.2 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 8 of 137 checked values (5.8%) 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.
