Wave buoy stations in operation, Department of Transport, Western Australia
The Department of Transport's wave rider buoys in operation off the Western Australian coast, one row per buoy, with location, depth, the dates of its data and links to its readings.
This is a copy of the 2026-10-03 version of this dataset on publicdata.au, where it has 8 rows and 13 fields. The same version is kept at https://publicdata.au/d/wa-wave-stations-current/v/2026-10-03/ in 12 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/wa-wave-stations-current/versions.json. This repository tags each version it holds as v<date>, so load_dataset("National-Digital/wa-wave-stations-current", revision="v2026-10-03") 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:
