Recent Wave Amplitude Period and Wave Height (previous 5 days) at the SE of Nantucket Buoy:
Wave amplitude period is a good indicator of distant, severe storms. For example, during quiet periods, the period between wave swells may be 4 seconds, and wave heights 5 feet or less. However, when Nor'easters or hurricanes and other storms persist offshore, wave height, and the time between wave swell crests can increase dramatically, and will be shown on the graphs below.Near Real Time Wave Period at buoy SE of Nantucket (long wave periods generally coincide with large offshore storms)
