Questions about buoy 46087

Where is buoy 46087?

NDBC station 46087 is moored at 48.493°N, 124.727°W — Neah Bay - 6 NM North of Cape Flattery, WA (Traffic Separation Lighted Buoy), in 259 m of water. The closest other reporting station is Neah Bay, WA (NEAW1), 9 nm to the SSE.

How big are the waves at the Neah Bay buoy right now?

As of the Aug 27, 7:30 PM PDT report, 46087 shows 3.0 ft significant wave height on a 7-second dominant period from the WSW. Over the past 46 days, 6% of readings were under 2 ft and the biggest day reached 7.2 ft.

How windy is it at Neah Bay buoy 46087?

Wind at 46087 is 7.8 knots from the SW, gusting 9.7. The strongest gust in the past 46 days was 25 knots.

What is the water temperature at Neah Bay buoy?

Water temperature at the buoy is 54.1°F. That is 1°F cooler than on August 1.

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.
