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

The current wave reading for buoy 46070 is about 1.7 m. Smaller numbers usually mean an easier ride, while larger numbers can quickly make offshore travel less comfortable.

Why wind speed matters

The wind reading for buoy 46070 is around 10.0 m/s. Stronger wind often makes chop steeper, increases spray and can make docking, fishing or longer crossings more difficult.

What good, moderate and rough mean

Moderate conditions can still be workable, but they often call for a closer look at wind trend, wave period and boat capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does buoy 46070 measure?

Buoy 46070 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 46070?

The latest wave height at buoy 46070 is about 1.7 m. 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 46070?

Wind speed at buoy 46070 is currently around 10.0 m/s. Stronger wind can quickly steepen chop and make sea state more difficult even before wave height rises much further.

How often is buoy 46070 updated?

Buoy 46070 is shown using the latest reporting interval available from NOAA. On this page the current reading was updated 34 mins ago, and trend charts use cached station history for context.

Where is buoy 46070 located?

Buoy 46070 is located near coordinates 55.0480, 175.2460. That position helps you judge how representative the station is for your route, inlet, harbor or offshore area.

Does buoy 46070 have a camera?

Yes. Buoy 46070 currently has camera imagery available, so you can use both the numeric readings and the latest visual sea-state check together.
