Hi, anyone know why the CDC buoy data (bureau of meteorology - BOM) is unavailable? No data since Monday 17/4.

Looks like they might have lost data connectivity.

With the coming swell they might not be able to get out to it for a bit if they need to service.

Hopefully not..

Cape Sorell buoy also offline, which suggests an upstream data issue (not local connectivity).

The BOM sent an alert re: "network outage affecting some automatic weather stations" yesterday but it doesn't included these sites. However I suspect it's probably related.

Thanks for the updates fellas. Strong sets with a bit of size this arvo on the mid coast, would have been interesting to see the readings from the cdc buoy.

They're back, but it's missed yesterday's building swell.
