CARICOOS Wave Buoy (Rincon, PR): Historical (2012 - 2025), Wave Data
Directional wave and sea surface temperature measurements collected in situ by Datawell Waverider buoys located near RINCON, PUERTO RICO from 2011/04/29 to 2025/07/15. This dataset includes publicly-released data only, excluding all records flagged bad by quality control procedures. A total of 223072 wave samples were analyzed for this area, where the water depth is approximately 33 meters.
