Questions about buoy 44025

Where is buoy 44025?

NDBC station 44025 is moored at 40.258°N, 73.175°W — LONG ISLAND - 30 NM South of Islip, NY, in 40.2 m of water. The closest other reporting station is New York Harbor Entrance - 15 NM SE of Breezy Point, NY (44065), 25 nm to the WNW.

How big are the waves at the Long Island buoy right now?

As of the Oct 11, 11:40 AM EDT report, 44025 shows 5.2 ft significant wave height on a 6-second dominant period from the SE. Over the past 45 days, 27% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 19.0 ft.

What is the water temperature at Long Island buoy?

Water temperature at the buoy is 63.3°F. That is 10°F cooler than on August 27.

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.
