Questions about buoy 41110

Where is buoy 41110?

NDBC station 41110 is moored at 34.144°N, 77.715°W — Masonboro Inlet, ILM2, NC (150), in 17 m of water. The closest other reporting station is Wrightsville Beach Nearshore, NC (ILM2) (41038), 0 nm to the S.

How big are the waves at the Masonboro Inlet buoy right now?

As of the Aug 27, 10:30 PM EDT report, 41110 shows 3.0 ft significant wave height on a 5-second dominant period from the S. Over the past 46 days, 43% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 6.2 ft.

What is the water temperature at Masonboro Inlet buoy?

Water temperature at the buoy is 82.8°F. That is 0°F warmer than on July 14.

Why are some fields blank?

Waves are sampled every 30 minutes, so most 10-minute rows carry no value for them. NDBC prints “-” (or “MM” in the raw feed). A field that stays blank for days usually means a sensor fault; NDBC lists outages on its station status page.
