Wave Frequency
Count how many complete waves occurred within a minute and record the wave frequency.
Wave Height
Measure the crest and trough of five waves and calculate their difference to find the wave height (cm).
Wave 1 Height (cm)
Wave 2 Height (cm)
Wave 3 Height (cm)
Wave 4 Height (cm)
Wave 5 Height (cm)
Wave Height Average
Calculate the average wave height (cm) of your five waves.
Wave Velocity (m/s²)
Measure the depth of still water between waves to calculate the speed of the wave using Wave Velocity = SQRT (still water depth * 9.81m/s²).
Swell Direction
Visit the NOAA’S National Data Buoy Center website to find raw data from from the San Pedro South buoy, and record the swell direction below.
