Buoys near Westport

9 active NOAA stations report within 150 km of Westport. The closest wave buoy is NDBC 46211 (Grays Harbor, WA), 11 km WSW of the break. Buoy 46041 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 Westport, 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.

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.
