Europe's No1 surfing forecasts. FREE!

Wednesday 10 March 2010

European wave buoys Each area should have 2 graphs (wave height and wave period) but due to the harsh environment they work in, wave buoy data can be sketchy. The horizontal axis (along the bottom of the graph) shows the Date and Time: the number on top is the date (eg. 06/01 for June 1st). The number below it is the time (eg. 0Z is midnight, 06Z is 6am, 12Z is midday, 18Z is 6pm). GMT stands for Grenwich Mean Time. The vertical axis (up the left hand side of the graph) shows either the Wave height (in feet) or Wave period (in seconds). Wave height is the "significant" wave height (the mathematical average of the highest third of the waves measured). Wave period is this is the interval (in seconds) between waves.
