Re: 4:00 advisory

This is the buoy I was thinking of in an earlier post when I was wondering how much these buoys can take. If it has not reported now for 2 hours, maybe a 42 ft wave was too much? Or one higher than that?

Update: it did report in, but it appears that the instrument that measures wave height is no longer functioning. Last hour the max wave height was 42 ft and the swells were 32.5. But remember this is out in the open water 64 nm from land.
