La Perouse Bank

NDBC station 46206 (La Perouse Bank) is a moored standard meteorological station at 48.840°N 126.000°W, operated by Environment and Climate Change Canada. 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.

A 16-day wave and wind forecast from the NOAA GFS-Wave model is available for this location alongside the live readings, so you can see both what the buoy is measuring now and what is expected to arrive.

PierMonkey uses buoy 46206 as the observation source for the surf forecast at Cox Bay (Tofino), about 30 km away. Swell that registers here shows up at the break shortly afterwards, which is what makes this station worth watching.
