The PacIOOS wave buoy program maintains an array of 16 real-time wave-measuring buoys throughout the Pacific Islands. I will discuss the operation of the program, mooring design, fabrication, the components, including a brief history of Datwell and the design challenges of the Datawell Wave Rider stabilized platform to measure heave and direction, deployment and recovery techniques of the mooring system, real-time monitoring, offsite tracking, and the trials and tribulations from 10ys of field observations.
