The PacIOOS wave buoy off Barbers Point (CDIP #165; NDBC #51204) operated between October 11, 2010 and February 19, 2017. It measured water temperature approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) offshore of Barbers Point (Kalaeloa) on the leeward (western) coast of Oʻahu in the State of Hawaiʻi. Data were transmitted every half hour. The temperature sensor was located at the base of the 0.9 meter spherical buoy, approximately 45 cm or 18 inches below the ocean surface.
The Barbers Point wave buoy was owned and managed by PacIOOS. The Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa provided the initial funding to purchase this buoy. 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.

For current water temperature observations at a nearby location, please visit the Kalaeloa Barbers Point wave buoy (CDIP #238; NDBC #51212). The historical Barbers Point buoy location experienced significant damage during vessel strikes and was later replaced by the Kalaeloa Barbers Point wave buoy in a less frequented area to help avoid future collisions.
