OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring
Climate ResearchAbout NDBC buoy 41083
NDBC station 41083 (OOI Pioneer) is a moored - research climate-research station at 35.725°N 74.853°W, operated by NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative. PierMonkey reads its observations straight from the NOAA National Data Buoy Center and republishes them free, with no account required to see current conditions.
It reports significant wave height, dominant and average wave period, wind speed, gusts and direction, air and sea-surface temperature, and barometric pressure; full spectral wave-energy density, which separates overlapping swell trains by period and direction; and tide predictions from the nearest NOAA CO-OPS station.
The nearest surf break PierMonkey covers is Cape Hatteras, roughly 83 km away. The buoy is not necessarily the forecast source for that break, but readings here are a useful cross-check on what is running in the area.
