         <abstract>Surface wave and water conditions, collected as part of the Backyard Buoys program. This Sofar Spotter buoy is located approximately 100 meters offshore of Utumanua Point and 500 meters west of Faleasao Harbor on the northwestern coast of Tau island of the Manua Islands in America Samoa.</abstract>
         <purpose>The Backyard Buoys program enables Indigenous and coastal communities to gather and use wave data, enhancing their blue economy and hazard protection. Leveraging low-cost and scalable marine technology, Backyard Buoys offers a system for community-managed ocean buoys and web apps that simplify data access to complement Indigenous Knowledge.</purpose>
