      I have been in Anse Mitan for a while and you are reporting 1.2m waves... there has never been this kind of wave in the bay of Fort de France for 6 months. You really should correct this kind of information.

        Windy cannot correct weather models which are developed and run by ECMWF, NOAA and DWD. These models have a 13 to 22km resolution and consequently they may be inaccurate in local conditions.
        The data provided by IFREMER seem more in line with your observations :

        It seems to be run with a better resolution (about 5 km) even being based on the WWW3 model now called GFS waves.
