The PacIOOS wave buoy near the entrance to Pearl Harbor (CDIP #233; NDBC #51211) measures surface currents within Māmala Bay approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) offshore of Pearl Harbor and approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore of Honolulu International Airport along the South Shore of Oʻahu in the State of Hawaiʻi. Data are transmitted every 10 minutes. This Datawell Directional Waverider DWR4 buoy uses an acoustic current meter (ACM) to measure the speed and direction of ocean currents at approximately 1 meter below the surface.

The Pearl Harbor wave buoy is owned and managed by PacIOOS. The Hawaiʻi Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa provided the initial support to purchase this buoy with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Data are managed by the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Long-term partnerships between PacIOOS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and CDIP enable data streaming into the PacIOOS website and PacIOOS Voyager.
