      Abstract: 
        Wave buoy 238 measures wave height, wave direction, wave period, water 
        temperature, and surface currents in the vicinity of Kalaeloa Barbers 
        Point on the leeward (western) coast of Oahu in the State of Hawaii. 
        Wave data are transmitted every half hour. Surface currents data are 
        transmitted every 10 minutes. Water temperature data are transmitted 
        every 5 minutes. Originally a Datawell Directional Waverider Mark III 
        (DWR-MkIII) buoy, this was replaced with a newer model Datawell 
        Directional Waverider DRW4 buoy on March 2, 2022. Moored in water 291 
        meters deep, this buoy is equipped with three accelerometers measuring 
        north/south, east/west, and vertical displacements, allowing it to 
        measure both wave direction and wave energy. This buoy also uses an 
        acoustic current meter (ACM) to measure the speed and direction of 
        ocean currents at approximately 1 meter below the surface. The water 
        temperature sensor is located at the base of the 0.9 meter spherical 
        buoy, approximately 45 cm or 18 inches below the ocean surface. Wave 
        buoys are useful tools for forecasting local waves and are used by 
        recreational and professional ocean users alike. For historical wave 
        observations at a nearby location, please visit the archive of the 
        Barbers Point wave buoy (cdip165) that operated between October 11, 
        2010 and February 19, 2017. The historical buoy location experienced 
        significant damage during vessel strikes and was replaced by wave buoy 
        238 in a less frequented location to help avoid future collisions.
      Purpose: 
        PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to 
        support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in 
        the U.S. Pacific Islands region.

        The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through 
        the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a

        (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of 
        Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). Wave buoy 238 is owned 
        and managed by PacIOOS. Data are managed and distributed by the 
        Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP).
