"After 11 years of analyzing the first four buoys, the WCWI team concluded that the waves off of Vancouver Island provide 35 kilowatts of energy per one-metre wave. The team also found that ocean waves change with each season; during summer months, waves only produce 15 kilowatts per metre, whereas in January, the waves provide 70 kilowatts per metre. But even on its calmest day, the Pacific Ocean still provides at least 8 kilowatts of energy per one-metre wave."
