      Why are there two swell pointers and in the table below there is one swell and one wave height?

        @weekiman Could you please check also the 1 hour step in the forecast detail? If the issue still persists?
        You can get there by tapping on the 1 hour forecast in the lower left corner of the display.

          I think the arrows were designed for surfers: they indicate Swell and Swell 2, as Waves are not so important to them.
          Whereas the detailed forecast table is for everyone, mainly for sailors. Waves are important, same as Swell, but not Swell 2.

            Thanks, I'm mainly concerned with boating.

              Same thing, but I guess swell 1 and swell 2 are for surfers. I still don't know what they mean but I'm sure Windy explains it somewhere. I'll have to do a search. I'm concerned with offshore boating, wave height, wind, weather, and marine forecast.

                See what the different waves are meaning :
                https://community.windy.com/topic/17449/swell?_=1748610362533

                So the arrows are not very useful for you. With the table, focus on Wind, Waves and Swell.
