Model vs reality: nearest buoy
Buoy Mokapu Point, HI (098) (51202), 147 km from Kihei, reported 1 h before this update. model on target (within 0.2 m).
| Buoy | Model | |
|---|---|---|
| Wave height | 2.2 m (7.2 ft) | 2.5 m (8.0 ft) |
| Peak period | 6 s | 15 s |
| Swell from | NNE | NNW |
Buoy = measured at sea by NOAA NDBC. Model = GFS-Wave interpolated to the buoy's position and time. A persistent gap means the model is running high or low for this swell; adjust the forecast accordingly.
