        Hello Sergio,
        No, breaking waves forecast is not available in Windy.
        I don’t think the steepness of waves is a parameter that weather models provide.
        Then as breaking waves depending on the ratio of wave height / length, on speed and direction of currents, on wind force and also on depth of seabed, it is not easy to forecast them precisely.

          Thanks...I understand.
          I thought I remember a layer that may not have been called Breaking Wave but that was showing the probabilities of Breaking Wave derived from wind strength and swell but that is a few years back in my mind and I may be wrong about having seen this on Windy.
          No need to reply if you can't provide any additionnal information on the subject.
          Cheers,

          Sergio
