A01 Buoy Off Gloucester: A Bit Breezy

ao10730

Wind speed 65 mph, now that is a bit breezy.

Wind gust to 84 mph. That is the highest I’ve ever seen on this buoy.

Wave height climbed to 22 feet and then has been “NA” since 4AM. NA probably means “not applicable” but I have a feeling the indicator crapped its pants.

Water temp 41F at the surface. 41 F all the way down to 50 meters. Well mixed.

The wind is straight out of the north. High tide is at 5PM today. Lock 4WD and I might go see how Motif #1 is handling the waves coming straight in off Sandy Bay.

Stella can’t get out of the house on the lee side with a four foot drift against the door. On the windward side bare grass and she took a leak but poopies are not a possibility when the wind is blowing up her skirt at 65 mph.

  1. Go to this page and click on the “A” that is five miles south east of Gloucester Harbor.

    The A01 is the closest buoy that gives consistent data although right now it’s getting a bit squirrely.

    Once you click on the A01 you can get “12 hour history” bottom right. There is a more modern page somewhere else but I’ve been clicking on this page for 8 years and can’t learn new tricks.
