Default Re: Nantucket Data Bouy

Otto-

Next time a nor'easter (or hurricane) comes roaring toward New England from the Carolinas....is when you should really check the Nantucket or George's Bank buoys. Swell heights of 30+ feet are not uncommon. During the famed Halloween Storm in 1991 (aka Sebastian Junger's "Perfect Storm")....swells well over 50 feet were recorded.

In those weather conditions, I'll leave my boat tucked away thank you very much, but I will paddle out on my surfboard.
