The wave buoy is back at sea, recording information about wave heights, water temperature and wave frequency.
The buoy, which sits 13km off Pukehina Beach, monitors and records information about wave heights, water temperature and wave frequency.
The live data is shared on the Bay of Plenty Regional Council's website and is especially popular with boaties and surfers in the region.
The buoy has been out of the water since March getting a new computer and other internal upgrades.
Regional council data services manager Glenn Ellery said the necessary parts came all the way from Canada and everything went to plan.
