About Perranporth wave buoy
Perranporth is a Datawell Directional WaveRider station in about 14 metres of water off Cornwall's exposed north coast. First deployed in December 2006, it measures Atlantic swell approaching Perranporth and the surrounding beaches. Observations include wave height, period and direction, sea temperature and calculated wave power; a nearby shore station supplies separate weather data.
