Buoy index

Swell buoys and stations by country

Browse the buoy and station catalog integrated into SwellOracle. Each link opens an indexable page with location, source and available conditions when the station provides a reading.

How to use this index

Stations are grouped by country or area so it is easier to find real coverage near a coastline. Wave buoys and regional stations link to their own pages with coordinates, source and available variables.

When a source provides observed data, SwellOracle presents it as a real reading. When no recent reading is available yet, the page still documents source and location without inventing data.

Country index

Each country lists the buoys, stations and measurement points available in the current SwellOracle catalog.
