Marine safety
- Check before you launch
- Buoy readings are a snapshot. Always cross-check with the latest NWS marine forecast, especially for offshore wind shifts and small-craft advisories.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone where you're going, when you'll be back, and what your boat / paddlecraft / surfboard looks like. The Coast Guard can dispatch resources faster when they have these details.
- Wear a PFD
- Cold-water survival times are measured in minutes -- a properly fitted PFD buys you time to be found.
- Know your skill ceiling
- Big swell with strong winds is no place to push limits. Pick conditions comfortably below your max so a mistake stays recoverable.
About Buoy 62145
Where does the data for Buoy 62145 come from?
Wave height, water temperature, swell period, wind, and atmospheric data come from the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station 62145. The 15-day weather forecast comes from the NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the buoy report updated?
NDBC buoys typically report continuously; Snoflo refreshes throughout the day. The latest observation timestamp is shown on the wave hero card -- look for the "Latest from..." attribution.
What's the difference between DPD and APD?
DPD (dominant wave period) is the period of the wave train carrying the most energy -- this is the swell surfers care about. APD (average wave period) is the average period across all wave trains. DPD is usually longer than APD when there's a clean groundswell.
What does MWD (degT) mean?
Mean wave direction in degrees true -- the compass bearing the dominant waves are coming from. 0° = waves out of true north, 270° = waves out of true west. Useful for matching swell direction to a coastline's exposure window.
Can I get alerts when wave height crosses a threshold?
Yes -- buoy alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Set a threshold (e.g. "alert me at 8+ ft") and you'll get a push the moment NDBC reports the crossing.
