The Horseshoe Cove buoy, located off the Bodega Marine Laboratory and Reserve, extends a continuous sea surface temperature record spanning more than 50 years. Along with preserving this important long-term environmental record, the buoy provides real-time wave and water temperature observations that support scientific research and improve ocean awareness for local mariners and recreational users.
Real-time observations include:
- Wave height
- Wave direction
- Sea surface temperature
