It's below the controid.

And the depth of centre of pressure from the liquid surface,

where
A = Area of immersed surface,
x (bar) = Depth of centre of gravity of the immersed surface from the liquid surface, and

Ig = Moment of inertia of immersed surface about the horizontal axis through its centre of gravity.
