L4 Buoy

NDBC station 62030 (L4 Buoy) is a moored standard meteorological station at 50.250°N 4.217°W, operated by UK Met Office. 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.

The nearest surf break PierMonkey covers is Fistral Beach, roughly 65 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.
