What NOAA buoy 41113 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 41113 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 Cape Canaveral Nearshore?
- Sea surface temperature at Cape Canaveral Nearshore was 79°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:56 UTC by NOAA station 41113 (Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143)). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- How big are the waves at Cape Canaveral Nearshore?
- Significant wave height at Cape Canaveral Nearshore was 5.2 ft, with a 14-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:56 UTC by NOAA station 41113 (Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143)). 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 Cape Canaveral Nearshore?
- Waves at Cape Canaveral Nearshore were arriving from 70° true (ENE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:56 UTC by NOAA station 41113 (Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143)).
- What is the swell at Cape Canaveral Nearshore?
- The swell at Cape Canaveral Nearshore had a significant height of 3.0 ft at a 14-second peak period, arriving from the ENE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:56 UTC by NOAA station 41113 (Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143)). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at Cape Canaveral Nearshore?
- The wind-wave component at Cape Canaveral Nearshore had a significant height of 4.6 ft at a 6-second peak period, from the ENE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:56 UTC by NOAA station 41113 (Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143)). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Is it swell or wind chop at Cape Canaveral Nearshore?
- NDBC classified the sea state at Cape Canaveral Nearshore as average, with a significant wave height of 5.2 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:56 UTC by NOAA station 41113 (Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143)). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
- Where is NOAA buoy 41113 located?
- Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143) (41113) reports from 28.400°N, 80.533°W in the western North Atlantic (Florida).
- How often is NOAA buoy 41113 updated?
- Station 41113 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 41113 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143), plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
- Is Big Buoy free to use?
- Yes. Live data for Cape Canaveral Nearshore, FL (143) 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.
