Wave Period Maps
-
@O-C
Personally I doubt that many Windy users will be able to understand these 2 parameters. The original question was about a swell period layer. -
Pushing this old request up again.
Any update on implementing a wave period layer? Should be easy enough, the data is already there, it only has to be visualised in a map overlay?
-
Oh, I'm glad to see my original post got some attention. Pushing it up for the Dev's attention again. ;-) I am happy to try and explain more about what exactly we surfers are looking for. It seems from the comments above I'm not the only one.

Pushing this thread again, still waiting on those wave period layers.
They would be so great to have, any update?

Hi. There are a lot of different posts on here from surfers all with the same type of requests.
Here is one I suggested in a separate post as I couldn't add it into this one.

@Suty - could you please check out my post, and this one, and push this to the developers. I was looking into creating a Windy Plugin, and the information we would like to see is in the ECMWS model ready to add.
We would all be very grateful :-)
If you have upcoming plans to enhance the wave information please let us know so we can stop hounding you!
-
@O-C I will keep the suggestion for upcoming plans, for now there is no plan to handle that, but it can be added in future.
-
@Suty - thank you for the update.

@idefix37 Thanks for explaining wave period maps! It's cool to learn how surfers use this data and that the info is already available in the forecast picker. I agree a dedicated layer would be helpful for tracking energy release.

@Jia-Y said in Wave Period Maps:

It is available as a layer and it is called Wave power.

Hi guys just trying to bring this to your attention again.
Any update on when you'll add wave period maps to Windy?
I don't think this is only a surfer's thing. I'm a coastal oceanographer interested in coastal erosion and period is a very relevant variable when trying to predict erosion. The models you present have it as standard variables so shouldn't be too complicated to add them in.
Thanks! -
@Guilherme-Vieira-da-Silva
As a coastal oceanographer interested in coastal erosion, you should consider that Wave power is a major parameter for this type of erosion.
It is available in Windy as a layer:Screenshot from the mobile app
It is also available in the Waves&tide table at a location.
More information in this thread.
