About CDIP Station 171 Buoy

The CDIP Station 171 buoy is part of the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) network and the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It continuously measures wave height, swell period, wind wave direction, and other ocean conditions. This data supports safe navigation, surf forecasting, weather modeling, and coastal research across CDIP Station 171.

Data Applications

  • Surfers: track swell height, direction, and period
  • Mariners: monitor sea state and marine safety conditions
  • Weather forecasters: analyze storm and ocean-atmosphere interactions
  • Researchers: study long-term wave climate and coastal changes
