PredictCurrent Pro subscribers have access to Maps, including Wave Maps. To change the map, tap the drop-down icon at the top right of the Map view.

The examples below are Wave maps at 14km and 50km resolution.

The Wave Map shown is the ECMWF wave model, regarded as the best global model. Resolution is provided at 14km, 50km and 100km.

You can change the resolution in the forecast options box or pinch to zoom in or out. Tap at different times on the timeline or tap play to see the Wave map animated over time.

Tap the map to see a pop-up box with detailed information, including Wave Height, Direction and Wave Period.

Wave height is the mean wave height from the trough to the crest of the highest third of the wave, known as the significant wave height. The significant wave height is generated from the primary swell and the local wind wave. As the significant wave height is an average, it is possible that you may encounter a wave that is roughly double the significant wave height depending on the conditions.

Wave Period is the time in seconds it takes for two successive crests (one wavelength) to pass a specified point.
