How to use this buoy or model

SOUTH HATTERAS - 225 NM South of Cape Hatteras is part of SwellOracle's United States surf and swell coverage. This page preserves the source identity and timestamp so you can judge whether the reading is useful for your coastline. Because this is an observation or reference station, gaps and delays can occur when the upstream feed is unavailable.

How to use this reading

SOUTH HATTERAS - 225 NM South of Cape Hatteras helps confirm whether swell energy is reaching the United States area. Higher height with a longer period usually means more organized energy, while direction determines which coastlines receive that swell best.

For surf decisions, compare height, period and direction with your beach's local exposure. If the station does not report a variable, use the app to compare it with nearby model points.
