Questions about buoy 46014

Where is buoy 46014?

NDBC station 46014 is moored at 39.225°N, 123.980°W — PT ARENA - 19NM North of Point Arena, CA, in 335 m of water. The closest other reporting station is Arena Cove, CA (ANVC1), 22 nm to the SE.

How big are the waves at the Point Arena buoy right now?

As of the Aug 27, 7:20 PM PDT report, 46014 shows 5.9 ft significant wave height on a 11-second dominant period from the SW. Over the past 46 days, 0% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 12.5 ft.

How windy is it at Point Arena buoy 46014?

Wind at 46014 is 9.7 knots from the NW, gusting 9.7. The strongest gust in the past 46 days was 37 knots.

What is the water temperature at Point Arena buoy?

Water temperature at the buoy is 58.1°F. That is 4°F warmer than on July 14.

Why are some fields blank?

Waves are sampled every 30 minutes and pressure tendency is computed hourly, 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.
