Dont really know colin , I think tidal and current movements maybe but was a pretty piss poor effort by them in telling everyone the location , hate to be pulling up the anchor and have a float attached

Stuff up
Was meant to be on the surface but they either miscalculated the depth from the chart and made the rope/chain too short or tangled it up when they threw it over the side, so cheaper and easier to call it "sub surface" buoy
Oh wait, they haven't put it out there yet...in that case they've intentionally made the rope to short in order to save a bit of money!
