I looked into this weather buoy deal a few years back because along with Port Colborne buoy, one off Roch on Lake O...are just not true to the wave conditions under say 2 meters. These buoys are 3 meter discus style so like a 10' diameter, made of very heavy gauge aluminum and are ballasted. They have all kinds of sensors and one called a Inclinometer that measures the "heave" or vertical rise to the top third of a wave. It takes an average over I think 20 minutes. It's not rocket science to figure out that the size and displacement the buoy along with mooring chain restricts it's ability to accurately measure waves until they become large enough.

We had this discussion last year or the year before.

We had some East wind recently......... did that wind move any cooler water to the area off Sturgeon Point? Does an East wind historically move some of the cooler water back towards Buffalo, along with bait/walleyes?

unfortunately there is no cool water anywhere in New York State it is actually warmer on the bottom then it is on the surface buy a few degrees. pretty much the whole eastern basin is very warm that is why the fish are scattered throughout the water column and west of the catt.

I hope to be heading out in the late afternoon, early evening on Wednesday this week. Be just about my first time out since major surgery last summer.

I will be launching from the SBH......I was planning on heading out to either Seneca Shoals near the fence or Meyer's. Any suggestions as to depth I should be looking at? Are they suspended or near the bottom in general for this that have been out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That site uses the exact Canadian buoy that we are questioning its wave height data (45142 Port Colborne).
