Marine model
Antofagasta coast model CL-OM-ANTOFAGASTA
Antofagasta coast model is a marine model point in Chile integrated into SwellOracle from Open-Meteo Marine. It is not a physical buoy: it summarizes estimated height, period and direction to guide areas without a nearby real observation: 6.2 ft, 11.3 s, SW.
How to use this reading
Antofagasta coast model does not measure the ocean with an instrument in the water. It is a marine model estimate for Chile; use it as an initial guide and compare it with nearby real buoys, cameras, wind, tide and local knowledge.
For surf decisions, compare height, period and direction with your beach's local exposure. If the station does not report a variable, use the app to compare it with nearby model points.
