What NOAA buoy 41066 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 41066 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 NOAA buoy 41066?
- Sea surface temperature at NOAA buoy 41066 was 75°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:08 UTC by NOAA station 41066 (CHR60). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.

- CHR60 (41066) reports from 32.536°N, 79.656°W in the western North Atlantic.
- How often is NOAA buoy 41066 updated?
- Station 41066 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 41066 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for CHR60, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
- Is Big Buoy free to use?
- Yes. Live data for CHR60 and every other NOAA buoy is free with no account required. Big Buoy Pro adds the Wind Tab, the Depth Chart, satellite overlays (sea surface temp, chlorophyll, currents), 16-day forecasts, and forecast model switching.
