Wave Buoys

Wave buoys are floating sensors used to measure ocean surface conditions, such as wave height, period, and direction. They are equipped with instruments that detect the movement and shape of waves as they pass by. These buoys transmit real-time data to researchers and meteorologists to monitor weather patterns, study ocean dynamics, and improve maritime safety. Designed to float and remain stable, wave buoys provide essential insights into sea state, helping forecast conditions for shipping, coastal management, and climate research.
