Summary

Hourly wave-height observations at 32 sites throughout the Channel Islands National Park and San Nicolas Island, site-specific hind casts from the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP), and contemporary wave height, period, and direction from regional buoys taken during intervals between 2013 and 2017.

Purpose

These data were collected to better estimate wave energy at kelp forest monitoring sites in the Channel Islands. Future researchers can use these data to generate site-specific wave-energy hind casts from current observations using statistical models.
