How big are the waves at the Columbia River Bar buoy right now?
As of the Oct 11, 9:00 AM PDT report, 46029 shows 6.9 ft significant wave height on a 21-second dominant period from the NW. Over the past 46 days, 0% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 18.7 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 57.0°F. That is 5°F cooler than on August 27.
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.
