How to Use Buoy 41048 Data

Buoy 41048 shows live marine conditions for 3-meter foam buoy, including wave height, wind speed, gusts, pressure and related station data that can help with go or no-go decisions.

The latest reading is about latest readings are unavailable for wave height and 5.0 kn for wind speed, which currently points to good conditions.

Use this buoy page when you need station-level detail, fresher trend context and camera confirmation rather than a regional average alone.

About This Station

What this station shows

This buoy reports core go / no-go signals such as wind speed, gusts, wave height, wave period, pressure and temperature when NOAA makes them available.

Why conditions matter here

Station-level readings help confirm whether the local sea state is calmer than the broader region or whether stronger wind and larger seas are building right where you plan to go.

How to read this buoy data

For most skippers, wind speed and gusts come first, wave height and period come next, and pressure trend helps judge whether the weather is likely to improve or deteriorate. The camera block below adds visual confirmation, which is especially useful when the numbers look borderline but not clearly rough.

What These Conditions Mean

How to read wave height

Wave height is one of the clearest comfort and safety signals for buoy 41048. When the latest wave reading is missing, nearby stations and regional trend pages help fill in the picture.

Why wind speed matters

The wind reading for buoy 41048 is around 5.0 kn. Stronger wind often makes chop steeper, increases spray and can make docking, fishing or longer crossings more difficult.

What good, moderate and rough mean

Good conditions generally point to calmer seas and lighter wind, but boaters should still check local changes and station freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does buoy 41048 measure?

Buoy 41048 reports core marine signals such as wave height, wind speed, gusts, pressure and temperature when NOAA makes them available. These readings help explain both comfort and risk on the water.

What is the current wave height at buoy 41048?

The latest wave height at buoy 41048 is about latest readings are unavailable. Higher wave height generally means a rougher ride, but wave period and wind still matter for the full picture.

What is the wind speed at buoy 41048?

Wind speed at buoy 41048 is currently around 5.0 kn. Stronger wind can quickly steepen chop and make sea state more difficult even before wave height rises much further.

How often is buoy 41048 updated?

Buoy 41048 is shown using the latest reporting interval available from NOAA. On this page the current reading was updated 38 mins ago, and trend charts use cached station history for context.

Where is buoy 41048 located?

Buoy 41048 is located near coordinates 31.8900, -69.7080. That position helps you judge how representative the station is for your route, inlet, harbor or offshore area.

Does buoy 41048 have a camera?

Yes. Buoy 41048 currently has camera imagery available, so you can use both the numeric readings and the latest visual sea-state check together.
