Station 46054 - Search and Rescue Data

WEST SANTA BARBARA 38 NM West of Santa Barbara, CA
34.274 N 120.462 W (34°16'28" N 120°27'42" W)

NOTICE: In addition to the 3 meter hull for station 46054, an old 10 meter hull is located at position 34.2728, 120.4617W (34*16'22"N 120*38'56"W).

Station 46054 is transmitting intermittently.  The NOAA National Data Buoy Center has deferred annual maintenance for buoys and C-MAN stations until further notice. We hope to resume maintenance of the coastal and offshore weather buoys and C-MAN network next year, pending full funding of the President's FY14 budget.
