Questions about buoy 46050

Where is buoy 46050?

NDBC station 46050 is moored at 44.679°N, 124.535°W — STONEWALL BANK - 20NM West of Newport, OR, in 149 m of water. The closest other reporting station is Newport, OR (NWPO3), 20 nm to the E.

How big are the waves at the Stonewall Bank buoy right now?

As of the Aug 27, 7:30 PM PDT report, 46050 shows 3.6 ft significant wave height on a 8-second dominant period from the WNW. Over the past 46 days, 0% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 8.2 ft.

How windy is it at Stonewall Bank buoy 46050?

Wind at 46050 is 7.8 knots from the NNW, gusting 7.8. The strongest gust in the past 46 days was 29 knots.

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.
