The buoys record the data as the swells rise, so does the buoy. That being said, the buoys are usually offshore and almost all beaches take a certain swell in a certain way.

Others already mentioned the right answer, but it may be worth mentioning the bouys may read 3-4ft swells but at the beach it could be a bit bigger than that. Just something I've noticed as a surfer.
