Waves from Hurricane Francine were measured at CDIP 255 Trinity Shoal, LA, which is operated with funding from USACE.  Attached bulletin is a summary of the complete data set available at cdip.ucsd.edu.

A new CDIP wave buoy station was deployed at the north end of Monterey Bay. With funding from CA State Parks, CDIP 275 Aptos Creek Nearshore will provide data on the waves and currents driving coastal processes along and near Seacliff and other State Beaches in the Soquel Cove region.

PacIOOS installed a new wave buoy in Utwe, Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia. Moored approximately 1.2 miles (2 km) offshore of Foko Mosral (Mosral Point), the southernmost point in the Malem municipality on the island of Kosrae, this buoy measures wave direction and energy, as well as surface currents,

The static 'Latest Summary' forecast plots for CDIP stations outside of California now include output for a second forecast model. In addition to forecasts from NCEP's GFS wave model, the plots now show forecasts derived from ECMWF's global WAM model. For a number of

A new station, CDIP 273 King-Paloa, was recently established by PacIOOS to measure waves approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) northwest of Legaotaema Point and Cape Taputapu offshore of Poloa Bay and Poloa Village Marine Protected Area at the western end of Tutuila Island in American Samoa.

A spring Nor’easter brought tropical storm strength winds up to 60 mph to New England, generating highly localized wave heights similar to those observed in hurricanes. At CDIP 160 Jeffrey’s Ledge, NH, established 2008 and operated in partnership with University of New Hampshire and NERACOOS, significant wave height

CDIP 265 Hollywood Beach, FL was redeployed today. Real-time data are available at: https://cdip.ucsd.edu/m/products/?stn=265p1

CDIP 134 Fort Pierce, FL was redeployed yesterday. Data are displayed at: https://cdip.ucsd.edu/m/products/?stn=134p1

CDIP 248 Angeles Point, WA was cleaned of kelp. Keeping this buoy free of kelp ensures good data is recorded.

CDIP has a new paper out describing recent advances in wave monitoring, including IT infrastructure, QA/QC, wave model visualization/validation and data products.

CDIP 209 Barnegat, NJ was replaced January 12. A radar reflector was added to the buoy and a marker float was added to the mooring to increase visibility.

Winter Storm Finn generated coastal ocean waves that approached historic readings at several CDIP stations along the East Coast this week, with reports of intense coastal erosion and damaging wave inundation in locations like Long Island, NY and Narraganset, RI, caused by the storm surge compounded by high astronomical tides.

Swells impacted the west coast in December.

An extratropical storm impacted the east coast.
