What NOAA buoy 44027 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 44027 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 Jonesport?
- Sea surface temperature at Jonesport was 53°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, ME). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- What is the wind doing at Jonesport?
- Wind at Jonesport was from the S at 13 mph, with peak gusts to 16 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, 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 Jonesport?
- Significant wave height at Jonesport was 2.3 ft, with a 3-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, 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 Jonesport?
- Waves at Jonesport were arriving from 167° true (SSE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, ME).
- What is the barometric pressure at Jonesport?
- Sea-level pressure at Jonesport was 30.39 inHg (1029.1 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:00 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, ME). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at Jonesport?
- The swell at Jonesport had a significant height of 1.0 ft at an 8-second peak period, arriving from the SSE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, ME). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at Jonesport?
- The wind-wave component at Jonesport had a significant height of 2.3 ft at a 3-second peak period, from the SSE. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 44027 (Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, ME). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Where is NOAA buoy 44027 located?
- Jonesport, ME - 20 NM SE of Jonesport, ME (44027) reports from 44.284°N, 67.301°W in the western North Atlantic (Maine).
- How often is NOAA buoy 44027 updated?
- Station 44027 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 44027 measure?
