Hourly readings from the Saint-Jean-de-Luz wave buoy for Thu, May 4, 2023, 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 3 ft (10th–90th percentile 2.6–4.8 ft), while mean peak wave period was 5.9 seconds (10th–90th percentile 4.4–6.6 seconds). Typical calculated wave power was approximately 2.7 kW/m (10th–90th percentile 1.7–6.5 kW/m), derived from significant wave height and energy period. 2 of 144 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.
