Buoys near Saquarema (Itaúna)

The closest wave buoy is NDBC 31004 (Salvador), 1,486 km NE of the break — too far to read Saquarema (Itaúna) directly, so this is a forecast-only coast: the rating comes from the NOAA GFS-Wave model sampled at the spot, and the buoys below are context for the wider ocean, not a live read on the lineup.

Stations are ranked by how much they tell you about Saquarema (Itaúna), not just by distance: a buoy sitting upstream — in the direction the swell comes from (about SSE here) — registers a new swell before it reaches the break, so it earns a lead time; a buoy behind an island is marked as shadowed; stale reports rank below fresh ones. Readings are the latest public NOAA observations and refresh hourly.

Forecast-only coast

No active NOAA station reports within 1,000 km of Saquarema (Itaúna). The nearest instruments are listed below for context on the wider ocean, but nothing here reads the lineup. PierMonkey rates Saquarema (Itaúna) from the NOAA GFS-Wave model sampled at the spot itself, and the 16-day forecast on the Forecast tab is the source to plan from. How the rating works →

Lead times use deep-water group velocity (Cg = gT/4π ≈ 2.8 km/h per second of period) projected along the swell direction, at this break's typical period; a buoy under 40 km away reads the same swell the break is receiving. Upstream = within 30° of the swell direction; shadowing is curated per break. Observations: NOAA National Data Buoy Center. Ratings: NOAA GFS-Wave, PierMonkey Rating v3.
