What NOAA buoy CARL1 measures
Station CARL1 does not report a full meteorological suite; Big Buoy shows the observations available at this location and pairs it with the nearest offshore buoy and a 7-day tide forecast so you still get a complete picture of the area.
What to watch in the Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf’s shallow, broad shelf means seas build and lay down quickly with the wind — short-period chop is the norm rather than long ocean swell. Summer afternoons bring fast-developing thunderstorms, so watch barometric pressure and wind trends closely before heading out.
