Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy observations on Sun, Aug 28, 2022
Hourly readings from the Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy for Sun, Aug 28, 2022, 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 2 ft (10th–90th percentile 1.8–2.7 ft), while mean peak wave period was 7.2 seconds (10th–90th percentile 4.6–8.3 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 1.1 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 0.9–2.2 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 3 of 144 checked values (2.1%) 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.
