What NOAA buoy 44007 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 44007 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 Portland?
- Sea surface temperature at Portland was 55°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- What is the air temperature at Portland?
- Air temperature at Portland was 52°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME).
- What is the wind doing at Portland?
- Wind at Portland was from the S at 9 mph, with peak gusts to 11 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME). 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 Portland?
- Significant wave height at Portland was 1.3 ft, with a 7-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME). 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 Portland?
- Waves at Portland were arriving from 129° true (SE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME).
- What is the barometric pressure at Portland?
- Sea-level pressure at Portland was 30.39 inHg (1029.1 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at Portland?
- The swell at Portland had a significant height of 1.3 ft at a 7-second peak period, arriving from the SE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at Portland?
- The wind-wave component at Portland had a significant height of 0.7 ft at a 3-second peak period, from the SSE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 44007 (PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Where is NOAA buoy 44007 located?
- PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME (44007) reports from 43.525°N, 70.140°W in the western North Atlantic (Maine).
- How often is NOAA buoy 44007 updated?
- Station 44007 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 44007 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for PORTLAND - 12 NM Southeast of Portland,ME, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
