Brief description

Near real time wave and sea surface temperature data for selected sites along the Queensland coast.

For more information please refer to [www.qld.gov.au/waves](https://www.qld.gov.au/waves).

Field names are;
**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** - Approximation of sea surface temperature.
