Wind & Waves picker no longer displays "Waves" flag
-
There were some recent changes made to the location picker display when viewing the Wind & Waves view. Previously, the picker would display "Waves" data which is pertinent for Wind & Waves. The current version has deleted Waves data, but added Wind (which is a great addition). It also displays Swell 1 and Swell 2. The Wave data is very important and should be added back to the picker. Waves are typically greater intensity than Swells, especially the Swell 2 data.
Please consider adding the Wave flag back to the picker and retain the Wind flag. The Swell 1 information is valuable, so if anything needs to be deleted to allow Waves to display, the Swell 2 data could be deleted to accommodate.
In the attached image: For 10PM you can see in the data that the Waves are reported to be 6 feet (which are significant) and Swell 1 is reported as 4 feet. If you look at the picker, it displays the Swell 1 as 4 ft and Swell 2 as 3 ft. The picker is not displaying the most important data of Waves at 6 feet. Again, having the Wind flag in the picker is a great addition and very helpful. I would recommend deleting Swell 2 from the picker and replacing it with the Waves data.

I don't remember Waves being included in this chart.
Seen since 2017

@idefix37 Ok. It would undoubtably be useful information to have a visual graphic of wave height in addition to swell heights. Maybe it should be added.

If you right-click a location on the map and then click Show weather picker, the wave height, direction, and period appear. But it interferes with the other flags. Adding the wind waves would be a great addition, along with the wind and swell.
