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.

What These Conditions Mean

How to read wave height

The current wave reading for buoy 52162 is about 0.3 m. Smaller numbers usually mean an easier ride, while larger numbers can quickly make offshore travel less comfortable.

Why wind speed matters

Wind speed helps explain how quickly conditions may become rough. If wind data is missing for buoy 52162, compare nearby buoys and recent updates before heading out.

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.
