What NOAA buoy 46027 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 46027 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 eastern North Pacific
The U.S. Pacific coast is dominated by long-period groundswell and strong seasonal upwelling that keeps nearshore water cold. Watch swell period as closely as wave height — a long-period west swell can make harbor entrances and bar crossings hazardous even when the wave height looks modest.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the air temperature at ST Georges?
- Air temperature at ST Georges was 52°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA).
- What is the wind doing at ST Georges?
- Wind at ST Georges was from the S at 7 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA). 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 ST Georges?
- Significant wave height at ST Georges was 7.2 ft, with an 11-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA). 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 ST Georges?
- Waves at ST Georges were arriving from 302° true (WNW) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA).
- What is the barometric pressure at ST Georges?
- Sea-level pressure at ST Georges was 29.96 inHg (1014.6 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:50 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- What is the swell at ST Georges?
- The swell at ST Georges had a significant height of 7.2 ft at an 11-second peak period, arriving from the WNW. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA). NDBC separates swell from locally generated wind waves using a spectral estimate.
- How much wind chop is at ST Georges?
- The wind-wave component at ST Georges had a significant height of 1.3 ft at a 4-second peak period, from the NW. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA). Swell and wind-wave heights combine in quadrature, not by addition.
- Is it swell or wind chop at ST Georges?
- NDBC classified the sea state at ST Georges as swell, with a significant wave height of 7.2 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:40 UTC by NOAA station 46027 (ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
- Where is NOAA buoy 46027 located?
- ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA (46027) reports from 41.840°N, 124.382°W in the eastern North Pacific (California).
- How often is NOAA buoy 46027 updated?
- Station 46027 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 46027 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for ST GEORGES - 8 NM NW of Crescent City, CA, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
