        You can customize the color scale of any layer, including Waves.
        In Settings (website version), select Customize color scale -> Waves

        On my side I use this color scale

          Why don't you please put that colour scale by default for all users? I think it's much better. I agree now it's very difficult to see the 2-3 meter range.
          Starting from dark blue for no waves, after green to yellow for bigger swell, and finally red to violet for storm, gets more intuitive.
          Thanks & congratulations for the app !!!

            I am not in the Windy dev team so I cannot set my setting as « default setting ».
            But if you want to use my colors setting for waves, here is how to do it:

            In windy.com Menu (not in the phone app) go to Settings
            Scroll down and choose Customize color scale
            In Select overlay: Choose Waves
            At bottom of page find the line Import/export
            Click on [view code] to open a window pop up
            Delete the text code in this window
            Select and copy all lines of code here below and paste them in the window
            Press [Import Gradient]
            Press Save

            [[0,[159,185,191,255]],
            [0.5,[48,157,185,255]],
            [1,[56,104,191,255]],
            [1.5,[86,90,197,256]],
            [1.9,[48,98,141,255]],
            [2.1,[48,98,141,255]],
            [2.4,[0,119,112,255]],
            [2.6,[0,119,112,255]],
            [2.8,[0,153,122,255]],
            [3.2,[0,153,122,255]],
            [3.8,[0,174,104,255]],
            [4.2,[0,174,104,255]],
            [4.8,[168,201,68,255]],
            [5.2,[168,201,68,255]],
            [6.5,[200,66,13,255]],
            [7.5,[200,66,13,255]],
            [9.5,[215,0,50,255]],
            [10.5,[215,0,50,255]],
            [13,[175,80,136,255]],
            [15,[175,80,136,255]],
            [17,[154,48,151,255]]]

            These new colors will be saved in your Windy cloud and will be applied to all your devices including in phone app.
            But if you want to come back to Windy default colors you can press Load default

            NOTE: Each waves height range is represented by a uniform color without shading or smoothing, with only a small blend transition.

            For instance,
            ...
            Dark green is 2m waves
            Medium green is 3m waves
            Light green is 4m waves
            Yellow is 5m waves
            Brick red is 7m waves
            Bright red is 10m waves
            ...
            So at a glance you know the wave height.
