* Display Buoy observations including Sea height and Spectral Wave Energy.
* ideal to gage surfing conditions using the spectral wave energy to see how much energy is in the long period swells.
* Sea Height buoys show tide fluctuation as well as activity due to earthquakes and tsunamis.
* As new buoys are placed at sea, you can update the buoy database to collect all current buoys.
Spectral wave energy is useful to see how much energy is in the long period swells. These long period swells are generated from storms thousands of miles away. The standard buoy observation may show the average period or dominent period as a short period. When long period waves are approaching the spectral wave energy will show a significant amount of energy in the longer periods.
