What is wrong with the wave forecast in my area
-
Does anyone know why the wave report is blacked out in the Knights Inlet area? Is it always like this? Do I need a premium membership to see it?

Wave forecasting is not available in this part of the BC coast because all 3 models do not provide any data for this inland inlet. The same goes for Premium users, as you can see in my screenshot.
Even the Canadian RDWPS with a higher resolution does not provide wave data at this location.
Could global and regional models accurately forecast waves in this isolated inlet? I don't think so, because this fjord-like inlet in the middle of high mountains certainly depends probably on very local winds that these models are not able to predict accurately in the middle of mountains.
