I’ve noticed that the St. Augustine buoy has not been giving readings the last couple months. I’m curious as to what makes the Canaveral buoy a better swell indicator for our area than the Fernandina buoy? Is the Canaveral one just a bit further offshore making it more reliable? I look at the buoy readings occasionally, and it’d be nice to know. I would have thought the Fernandina buoy would be a good indicator on N, NE and ENE swells and Canaveral for anything more E, ESE or SE. Since the report used the Canaveral buoy for the last Nor’Easter I just thought I would get the skinny. Thanks guys.
