Wave Statistics for Seven Deep Water Stations 
Along the California Coast 
Publication Date: December 1960 
Location: Seven deepwater stations whose coordinates are: 
Station 1 LIN? Sh IDQEUO? (ty 
Station 2 39'6° N HAAS Ny 
Station 3 SAO L235 en 
Station 4 BOL aN IAB Ii} 
Station 5 34'5° N ZO an 
Station 6 SAND Jey 120'0° W 
Station 7 Some OS iW 
Period of Coverage: This report compiles deepwater wave statistics 
based upon meteorological records and charts for 
the years 1956, 1957, and 1958 
Contents: Results of a wave hindcast analysis for the seven deepwater sites 
are presented in the form of average monthly and average annual wave 
height—period-direction frequency distributions. Wave directions are the 
directions from which the waves approach; the wave height is in terms of sig- 
nificant height; the wave period is the average period associated with the 
significant wave height. 
Annual wave roses are also presented and are given in combined rose and 
histogram form. The rose, which is in the center of each diagram, shows a 
frequency distribution of wave direction. The histograms surrounding the rose 
give a frequency distribution of wave height for each direction. Two such 
diagrams are presented for each station, one for sea and one for swell.
