The Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) is crucial in developing U.S. nearshore wave climatology, supporting rational design decisions. With a $2M+ annual budget and a team of 14 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, CDIP operates 27 stations across California, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington. Since 1975, historical data from 150 stations has been archived for research. The program includes advanced modeling, nowcasts, forecasts, and in-situ surveys using LIDAR technology for beach process studies. Future goals involve expanding surveys and enhancing collaborations with observing systems.
