Questions about buoy 46029
Where is buoy 46029?

How big are the waves at the Columbia River Bar buoy right now?
As of the Aug 27, 7:30 PM PDT report, 46029 shows 3.6 ft significant wave height on a 6-second dominant period from the WSW. Over the past 46 days, 1% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 7.9 ft.
How windy is it at Columbia River Bar buoy 46029?

What is the water temperature at Columbia River Bar buoy?
Water temperature at the buoy is 61.9°F. That is 2°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.
