Most recent wave and temperature data

All SE Queensland wave sites

The wave heights in the above table are the most recent ‘significant wave heights’. Select the monitoring site name to see a time series plot of this data.

Note: the significant wave height (Hsig) is defined as the average of the highest one third of the wave heights in a 30 minute wave record. However, the likely maximum wave height can be up to twice the significant wave height.

Hsig is the value used by the Bureau of Meteorology in its wave height forecasts.
