The swell height of an ocean buoy doesn't necessarily reflect the height of breaking waves at the beach. For breaking waves to form, the swell must literally collide with something: beaches, underwater shelves, and reefs are common examples. Even when the swell is the same, the breaking wave height might be totally different, for example, at a beach break with a gradual sloping bottom than it is at a rocky reef break where the wave will pick up more quickly.

9/21/09: Buoy 44007, which supplies data for many Southern Maine locations, is currently transmitting data only intermittently and is scheduled to be serviced by the NDBC. Buoy 44030 has ceased transmitting data (also relevant to Southern Maine and NH); we will continue to monitor the buoy while seeking alternate data for this region. Thanks for your patience!
