To collect research-grade scientific data to provide baseline measurements and for nearshore circulation studies.
A NIWA Dobie-A non-directional wave gauge was used to acquire this dataset. The Dobie was used in Time Series mode and thus recorded a time series of pressure, which was converted to water depth assuming a water density and atmospheric pressure. Significant wave height (Hs) and dominant wave period (Td) were computed from these 512 s time series of water depth at 2 Hz using the US Army Corps of Engineers (1989) SUPERDUCK spectral method. The high-frequency and low-frequency cut-offs were 0.04 Hz / 25 s and 0.25 Hz / 4 s, respectively.
