The Waimea Bay buoy is back online! Moored approximately 4 miles offshore Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oʻahu, the buoy transmits wave height, direction and period every half hour. The Waimea Bay wave buoy is owned and managed by PacIOOS. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) provided the initial funding to purchase this buoy. Data are managed by the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Long-term partnerships between PacIOOS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and CDIP enable data streaming into the PacIOOS website and PacIOOS Voyager.
