On 4 November 2024 Manly Hydraulics announced that the Byron Bay Waverider buoy had been damaged and was unable to transmit data to the shore station and, a replacement buoy was to be deployed as soon as possible.
It is expected that the Byron buoy will be redeployed this week to rejoin the six other buoy sites off the NSW coast continuously live monitoring deepwater wave conditions. Which in turn allows the forecasting of nearshore wave height and direction, as well as supplying an overview of swell height and direction along most of the state's 2,137 kms long coastline.
