    There is a new buoy added to the Swellinfo buoy data maps.
    This is Buoy 44098, 20 or so miles east of the New Hampshire Coastline. This is officially labeled - Jeffrey's Ledge, NH.

    I'm not sure when it was deployed, but this is a great location for swell data, and helps improves forecasts. The nearshore buoys are great of course, but most of them don't break down the wave heights into swell and wind wave heights.

    For more info on 44098, visit the National Data Buoy Center page for the buoy.
