      Hi Windy Admins,

      please provide the Swell angle and direction in the Wave Forecast. This is very helpful if you are looking for a spot that needs specific angle (range) to break perfect waves.

      Windy has so many cool features, but doesn´t have Swell Angle and Direction?

      My suggestion is to have something like

      DIRECTION - ANGLE
      SSW - 218

      Thank you!

        Hi,
        I assume you are talking about the angle relative to North, that is, the azimuth direction. In this case angle and direction is the same.

        The swell direction at a given location is displayed in the browser version as shown here:

        Same in the mobile app, in the top banner.

        In Windy, directions are rounded to the nearest ten degrees.
        For example, 218° is displayed as 220°.
