2.2.2     Regional Waves
Mooloolaba Wave Buoy (operated by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science) wave
roses for the deployment period (10/03/2019 to 30/04/2019) and long-term average (01/01/2007 to
30/04/2019) are compared in Figure 2-2. The deployment period regional wave characteristics include:

• A predominance of E to ESE wave conditions;

• A higher proportion of easterly wave conditions compared to the long-term average; and

• A slightly higher proportion of wave heights exceeding 2 m compared to the long-term average.
