Live Wave Data

 EMEC currently has two Datawell Directional Waverider buoys located at the Billia Croo test berths. These continuously measure the sea state parameters, and the output from the northern buoy is displayed below:

Present Climate – 04/02/2012 13:00:06 GMT
Maximum Wave Height (H max) 2.83m
Significant Wave Height (H 1/3) 1.8521m
Maximum Wave Period (T max) 11.69s
Significant Wave Period (T 1/3) 8.14s
Peak Direction 284.1deg

 

There is a time lag of approximately one hour between the buoy measurement and the website output.

The automated data stream displayed here has not been reviewed by EMEC for accuracy, therefore value should not be relied upon for any current activity.
