Coastal wave monitoring, Mooloolaba

Half-hourly wave height, period and direction and sea surface temperature from the Mooloolaba wave buoy, for the newest year the publisher has released.

This is a copy of the 2026-10-02 version of this dataset on publicdata.au, where it has 13,106 rows and 7 fields. The same version is kept at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-coastal-waves-mooloolaba/v/2026-10-02/ in 9 formats, with every earlier version and a query API.

Versions

publicdata.au keeps a new version each time the publisher changes the source file, and lists them all at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-coastal-waves-mooloolaba/versions.json. This repository tags each version it holds as v<date>, so load_dataset("National-Digital/qld-coastal-waves-mooloolaba", revision="v2026-10-02") always returns these rows.

Query it without downloading

The publicdata.au query API filters and totals the newest version of this dataset and needs no key:
