Abstract

Sea characteristics are determined by using a buoy with multiple tilt switches configured to sense at plural tilt angles of the buoy. The tilt switches provide binary outputs of tilt data corresponding to the tilt angles. The binary outputs are received by a processor and are compared with sample patterns of tilt data. The comparison is used to provide an output corresponding to sea conditions.
