What NOAA buoy 44011 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 44011 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

Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA). 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 Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis?
- Significant wave height at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis was 10.5 ft, with a 9-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA). 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 Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis?
- Waves at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis were arriving from 110° true (ESE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA).
- What is the barometric pressure at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis?
- Sea-level pressure at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis was 30.22 inHg (1023.3 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis?
- The swell at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis had a significant height of 6.9 ft at a 9-second peak period, arriving from the ESE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis?
- The wind-wave component at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis had a significant height of 7.9 ft at a 6-second peak period, from the E. Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Is it swell or wind chop at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis?
- NDBC classified the sea state at Georges Bank 170 NM East of Hyannis as steep, with a significant wave height of 10.5 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 20:10 UTC by NOAA station 44011 (GEORGES BANK 170 NM East of Hyannis, MA). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
