<![CDATA[Swell angle needs to be expressed in increments of 1 degree (223, 224, 225,...) and not 10 degrees (220, 230,...)]]>Hello there!

I've requesting this improvement for about a year now, and every update I hope it's there, but no :(

Technically, this should be super easy, as Windy gets its swell data from the respective US and European agencies, and that data comes in steps of 1 degree (223, 224, 225, you get the idea). But then Windy for some reason rounds it up (or down?) to the nearest 10 (220, 230, 240). Around where I live and surf, a change in 10° is a huge difference, and it makes Windy pretty much unusable for swell forecast. Please, please, fix this.

Did you receive any response from Windy?

I don't know how Windy rounds swell direction, but I hope it's not by rounding to the nearest 10°, up or down.
The most judicious solution is to round values ​​for example between 226° and 235° to 230°. Which gives a maximum absolute error of 5°. Hopefully that's the way they did it ?
