Buoys near Todos Santos Island

8 active NOAA stations report within 150 km of Todos Santos Island. The closest wave buoy is NDBC 46235 (Imperial Beach Nearshore, CA), 91 km NNW of the break. Buoy 46086 sits upstream in the swell window, so it registers an incoming swell before it reaches the sand.

Stations are ranked by how much they tell you about Todos Santos Island, not just by distance: a buoy sitting upstream — in the direction the swell comes from (about WNW 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.
