      Is there a way to overlay a compass that can be moved around? As a surfer it's very helpful to visually see swell angles for a spot. Sufline does something similar in their advance swell details but it's a zoomed in static shot. I'd like to be able to move the compass or zoom out on the map to see if the angle of the swell might be blocked. Screenshot 2024-08-19 at 3.28.17 PM.png

        In Windy you see directly the direction of the swell on your screen
        Here shown at high zoom level with aerial view

          Thanks for this, very helpful. Is there a way to see the swell angle (I.e. 180). I’m only seeing the size and interval.

            Yes, I guess you use the mobile app.
            Select the Swell layer to get the direction of the swell

            In the point forecast table, the direction of the swell is only displayed as a small arrow.

              Thanks again. For some reason I don't get the swell angle (mobile app) like you showed. Maybe a setting?IMG_7212.PNG
