Rincón Wave Buoy back in the water!

The Rincón wave buoy has been redeployed just in time for the beginning of the hurricane season and the North Atlantic wave season. The buoy was out of the water for two weeks for maintenance and a complete refurbishment. The buoy, which sits at approximately 2 km off the Rincón lighthouse, monitors and records information about wave height, wave period, and wave direction. Wave data can be viewed at the CARICOOS website  www.caricoos.org/station/rincon/us. For tips on how to read buoy data on CARICOOS, please visit www.youtube.com/Caricoos.
