Key
H_s	Height of significant wave (metres). This is the average height of the highest one third of the waves in the record.
H_max	Maximum height of the waves (metres) in the record.
T_z	Average time (seconds) between all waves in the record.
T_p	The peak energy period (seconds) is the period of the dominant waves in the record.

Notes

This page contains wave observations from a moored Waverider buoy located 4.2nm West of Cape du Couedic Light (Kangaroo Island) in 44 fathoms (80 metres). Location: 36.07S, 136.62E.

These data are automatically generated and are not quality controlled.
All times and dates are in South Australian local time.
Data for this page is downloaded manually approximately every 3 hours.
Each 'observation' (or record) is obtained by sampling the waves for 27 minutes.
This page is automatically updated every hour from available data.
