About Southern Georgia Strait Buoy

The Southern Georgia Strait buoy is part of the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) network. It continuously measures swell height, wave period, direction, and marine weather for mariners near Georgia. This data supports safe navigation, surf forecasting, weather modeling, and coastal research around Georgia.

This platform is maintained by an international partner agency collaborating with NOAA to share global ocean observations.

Data Applications

  • Surfers: Track swell height, period, and direction to time sessions and compare nearby breaks.
  • Mariners: Monitor sea state and wave energy for safer transits and offshore operations.
  • Weather forecasters: Analyze storm-driven waves and ocean-atmosphere interactions for regional forecasts.
  • Researchers: Study long-term wave climate trends, coastal erosion, and renewable energy potential.
