What NOAA buoy 41047 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 41047 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 NE Bahamas?
- Sea surface temperature at NE Bahamas was 85°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- What is the air temperature at NE Bahamas?
- Air temperature at NE Bahamas was 80°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas).
- What is the wind doing at NE Bahamas?
- Wind at NE Bahamas was from the NNE at 13 mph, with peak gusts to 18 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). 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 NE Bahamas?
- Significant wave height at NE Bahamas was 13.1 ft, with a 13-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). 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 NE Bahamas?
- Waves at NE Bahamas were arriving from 2° true (N) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas).
- What is the barometric pressure at NE Bahamas?
- Sea-level pressure at NE Bahamas was 29.95 inHg (1014.2 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at NE Bahamas?
- The swell at NE Bahamas had a significant height of 12.8 ft at a 13-second peak period, arriving from the N. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at NE Bahamas?
- The wind-wave component at NE Bahamas had a significant height of 2.6 ft at a 6-second peak period, from the NNW. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Is it swell or wind chop at NE Bahamas?
- NDBC classified the sea state at NE Bahamas as swell, with a significant wave height of 13.1 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 41047 (NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
- Where is NOAA buoy 41047 located?
- NE BAHAMAS - 350 NM ENE of Nassau, Bahamas (41047) reports from 27.557°N, 71.480°W in the western North Atlantic.
- How often is NOAA buoy 41047 updated?
- Station 41047 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 41047 measure?
