The wave buoy at Brandon Bay, Co. Kerry (Lat:52.282333 Long:-10.094833) provided by Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland was first deployed December 2020. The buoy measures wave height, wave direction, wave period, surface currents, and water temperature as well as storm impact. The wave buoy is part of a coastal erosion monitoring project with NUI Galway that involves a shore line monitoring system capturing images of the beach every 10 minutes. The Brandon Bay Waverider project is supported by the Marine Institute, NUI Galway and MaREI, the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine research and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. Parameters collected include: Station (ID), significant wave height (M), Average period (s), Direction of waves (°), sea surface temp (°C), Wave height max (M), TMax (s), H 1/3 (M).
