What NOAA buoy 46092 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 46092 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 wind doing at NOAA buoy 46092?
- Wind at NOAA buoy 46092 was from the NW at 11 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:08 UTC by NOAA station 46092 (MBM1). NDBC records wind at the station’s anemometer height, which is not the 10 m height used in marine forecasts.
- What is the barometric pressure at NOAA buoy 46092?
- Sea-level pressure at NOAA buoy 46092 was 29.96 inHg (1014.7 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 19:08 UTC by NOAA station 46092 (MBM1). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- Where is NOAA buoy 46092 located?
- MBM1 (46092) reports from 36.751°N, 122.029°W in the eastern North Pacific.
- How often is NOAA buoy 46092 updated?
- Station 46092 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 46092 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for MBM1, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
- Is Big Buoy free to use?
- Yes. Live data for MBM1 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.
