What NOAA buoy 41048 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 41048 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 West Bermuda?
- Sea surface temperature at West Bermuda was 82°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:30 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- What is the air temperature at West Bermuda?
- Air temperature at West Bermuda was 79°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:30 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda).
- What is the wind doing at West Bermuda?
- Wind at West Bermuda was from the SW at 27 mph, with peak gusts to 36 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:30 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). 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 West Bermuda?
- Significant wave height at West Bermuda was 10.5 ft, with a 12-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:30 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). 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 West Bermuda?
- Waves at West Bermuda were arriving from 25° true (NNE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:30 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda).
- What is the barometric pressure at West Bermuda?
- Sea-level pressure at West Bermuda was 29.83 inHg (1010.2 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:30 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at West Bermuda?
- The swell at West Bermuda had a significant height of 6.9 ft at a 12-second peak period, arriving from the NNE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:10 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at West Bermuda?
- The wind-wave component at West Bermuda had a significant height of 8.2 ft at a 7-second peak period, from the SW. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:10 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Is it swell or wind chop at West Bermuda?
- NDBC classified the sea state at West Bermuda as average, with a significant wave height of 10.5 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:10 UTC by NOAA station 41048 (WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
- Where is NOAA buoy 41048 located?
- WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda (41048) reports from 31.878°N, 69.722°W in the western North Atlantic.
- How often is NOAA buoy 41048 updated?
- Station 41048 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 41048 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for WEST BERMUDA - 240 NM West of Bermuda, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
