About Spurn Point wave buoy
Spurn Point is a Channel Coastal Observatory wave station off the narrow spit at the mouth of the Humber. It records North Sea conditions beside a highly mobile coastal landform and provides context for the estuary entrance, nearby shipping routes and the exposed southern Holderness coast.
Its current data source reports wave height, wave period, wave direction, directional spread and sea temperature.
