About Happisburgh wave buoy
Happisburgh is a Channel Coastal Observatory wave station off the northeast Norfolk coast. It supplies a nearshore North Sea record for one of England's most rapidly changing soft-cliff frontages, where communities, beaches and coastal defences are exposed to frequent erosion.
Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread and sea temperature.
