How to Use Buoy OCIM2 Data

Buoy OCIM2 shows live marine conditions for Water Level Observation Network, 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 4.6 kn for wind speed, which currently points to good conditions. It sits inside the broader Northeast picture, but this page helps you judge what is happening at the station itself.

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. It is one of the station pages used to read local marine conditions inside the broader Northeast picture.

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

Wave height is one of the clearest comfort and safety signals for buoy OCIM2. 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 OCIM2 is around 4.6 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 OCIM2 measure?

Buoy OCIM2 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 OCIM2?

The latest wave height at buoy OCIM2 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 OCIM2?

Wind speed at buoy OCIM2 is currently around 4.6 kn. Stronger wind can quickly steepen chop and make sea state more difficult even before wave height rises much further.

How often is buoy OCIM2 updated?

Buoy OCIM2 is shown using the latest reporting interval available from NOAA. On this page the current reading was updated 50 mins ago, and trend charts use cached station history for context.

Where is buoy OCIM2 located?

Buoy OCIM2 is located near coordinates 38.3280, -75.0910. That position helps you judge how representative the station is for your route, inlet, harbor or offshore area.

Does buoy OCIM2 have a camera?

No camera image is currently available for buoy OCIM2, so this page relies on buoy observations and nearby station context instead.
