Questions about buoy 46244
Where is buoy 46244?
NDBC station 46244 is moored at 40.896°N, 124.358°W — Humboldt Bay, North Spit, CA (168), in 117 m of water. The closest other reporting station is North Jetty Landing, CA (NJLC1), 9 nm to the SE.
Does buoy 46244 report wave height?
Yes — 46244 carries a wave sensor, but its latest transmission had no wave sample. Waves are sampled every 30 minutes; if the field stays blank for hours the sensor may be down.
What is the water temperature at Humboldt Bay buoy?
Water temperature at the buoy is 57.4°F. That is 3°F warmer than on July 14.
Why are some fields blank?
Waves are sampled every 30 minutes, 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.
