A Directional Waverider Buoy is installed at a location offshore from Lakes Entrance to measure wave height, period, direction, and surface water temperature. Mariners should note that this buoy is located to a position seaward of the eastern breakwater at Lakes Entrance, with an approximate position of S 37° 54.9075' E 147° 57.9379' (WGS 84). A long elastic mooring system has been utilized to secure the buoy and consequently the position of the buoy may vary with tide and currents. Mariners are directed to navigate with caution when transiting the area and to remain at least 200m clear of the buoy. No vessel is to moor to the buoy at any time. The buoy displays the following light characteristic: Fl(5)Y
Tide measuring equipment is installed to provide near-real time tide data.
An Automatic Weather Station is installed to provide measurements of air pressure, air temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity and rainfall.
