1. A system comprising:

  • a buoy having more than two tiers each having plurality of tilt switches, the tiers located at different vertical positions of the buoy; and

    a processor, operatively connected to the tilt switches, configured to match binary outputs of observed tilt switch data from each tier of tilt switches to stored tilt switch data contained in a database operatively connected to the processor, each string of stored tilt switch data associated with a particular sea state condition level, the processor further configured to use majority voting to determine a selected sea state condition level based upon the particular sea state condition levels associated with the matched stored tilt switch data for each of the tiers of tilt switches and return the selected sea state condition level from the database.
