Brief description

Measured and derived wave parameters from data collected by a wave monitoring buoy anchored at Mackay Inner.
For more information please refer to [www.qld.gov.au/waves](https://www.qld.gov.au/waves).

Field names;
Hs - Significant wave height, an average of the highest third of the waves in a record (26.6 minute recording period).
Hmax - The maximum wave height in the record.
Tz - The zero upcrossing wave period.
Tp - The peak energy wave period.
Peak Direction - Direction (related to true north) from which the peak period waves are coming from.
SST - Sea Surface Temperature as measured in the bottom of the hull of buoys.
