DOT wave data is collected using Datawell wave rider buoys. Older wave data was collected using non-directional wave rider buoys. As technology advanced and directional measuring capabilities were developed in wave buoys, the DOT wave buoy network was gradually upgraded to directional wave rider buoys. Older datasets do not have directional information whereas newer datasets have directional information.Historic Tide and Wave data is held by DOT from Wyndham to Esperance. Tide; AWAC; Wave; Pressure and Current data currently available at the Department of Transport, Fremantle. This data can be ordered at the following link:http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine/historical-tide-and-wave-data.asp
