Wave buoy

Wave buoy in Brest Harbour

A wave buoy measures how the water surface moves. They are use for statistics about waves.[citation needed]

Wave buoys are used for wave height and direction.[1]

They are accurate at measuring wave frequencies.[2]

Measuring waves is important for transport and safety, which is done by a wave buoy.[3]
