23 June 1999 buoy data. Basically there was a light northerly gradient wind which is depicted well by the data at Buoy 41010. The easterly winds at Buoy 41009 were exagerated due to the effect of the sea breeze. Sea heights of 3-4 feet do not look very impressive, especially with a 7-9 second period, but most of this was likely swell as the local winds were very light. Also, inspection of detailed wave data from the National Data Buoy Center showed that there were occasional longer periods. This did not show up in the locally generated buoy data since the occasional 14 second periods had wave heights of only 1.0-1.5 feet. The reason for this is that the program shows the dominant wave period (the wave period associated with the highest wave), which in this case was the 7-9 second period associated with 2-3 ft seas.
