Model vs reality: nearest buoy
Buoy station SSBN7, 41 km from Myrtle Beach, reported 2 h before this update. sea is smaller than the model by 0.3 m (1.0 ft).
| Buoy | Model | |
|---|---|---|
| Wave height | 0.8 m (2.6 ft) | 1.1 m (3.6 ft) |
| Peak period | 7 s | 6 s |
| Swell from | SE | ESE |
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.
