What NOAA buoy 41010 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 41010 reports wind speed, gusts and direction, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and — where wave sensors are fitted — significant wave height, swell period, and wave direction.
What to watch in the western North Atlantic
Conditions along the Atlantic coast are driven by swell direction and the shifting western edge of the Gulf Stream. Northeast winds against an outgoing tide stack up steep, dangerous seas at inlets, and water temperature can change 10–20°F over just a few miles as the Gulf Stream boundary moves.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the water temperature at Canaveral East?
- Sea surface temperature at Canaveral East was 83°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:20 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- What is the air temperature at Canaveral East?
- Air temperature at Canaveral East was 78°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:20 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral).
- What is the wind doing at Canaveral East?
- Wind at Canaveral East was from the NNE at 20 mph, with peak gusts to 27 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:20 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). NDBC records wind at the station’s anemometer height, which is not the 10 m height used in marine forecasts.
- How big are the waves at Canaveral East?
- Significant wave height at Canaveral East was 14.1 ft, with a 14-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:20 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). Significant wave height is the average of the highest one-third of waves — individual waves can be larger.
- Which direction are the waves coming from at Canaveral East?
- Waves at Canaveral East were arriving from 32° true (NNE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:20 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral).
- What is the barometric pressure at Canaveral East?
- Sea-level pressure at Canaveral East was 30.05 inHg (1017.6 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:20 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at Canaveral East?
- The swell at Canaveral East had a significant height of 11.8 ft at a 14-second peak period, arriving from the NNE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:10 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at Canaveral East?
- The wind-wave component at Canaveral East had a significant height of 7.5 ft at an 8-second peak period, from the NNE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:10 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Is it swell or wind chop at Canaveral East?
- NDBC classified the sea state at Canaveral East as swell, with a significant wave height of 14.1 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:10 UTC by NOAA station 41010 (CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
- Where is NOAA buoy 41010 located?
- CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral (41010) reports from 28.860°N, 78.478°W in the western North Atlantic.
- How often is NOAA buoy 41010 updated?
- Station 41010 typically reports new observations about every 10 minutes. Big Buoy refreshes continuously so you always see the latest readings, alongside 7-day tide predictions and a solunar table for the area.
- What does NOAA buoy 41010 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for CANAVERAL EAST - 120NM East of Cape Canaveral, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
- Is Big Buoy free to use?
