SOUTHERN EXPOSURES

Kalaeloa ‘Barbers Point’ (NBDC)  + Spectral Density

Kalaeloa ‘Barbers Point’ (This PacIOOS wave buoy sits 1.7 miles offshore of Kalaeloa Harbor on the leeward (western) coast of Oʻahu & is moored 291 meters deep).

Lana’i  SW(PacIOOS)

Lana’i  (NOAA)Spectral Density Graph (The PacIOOS wave buoy Sits 2.5 miles SW of Kaumalapau Harbor off the southwest coast of Lānaʻi & is moored 784 feet deep).

51211 – Pearl Harbor Entrance +NDBC Spectral Density + PacIOOS Spectral Model

Note: Direction of swell at Pearl Harbor skews SSE due to the refraction of SSW swell in the shallow water placement of buoy.
