      New to the app, like it so far, using it for fishing primarily. Have only two questions, any help would be greatly appreciated:

      Wave period s read-out, as an example, shows up as 6.0” for winds that are 10-15mph and seems to be a higher number in light winds and a lower number in high winds, 15-20mph shows up as 9.9”. Any idea why this is shown as “ and counterintuitive to wind speed?

      Also, is there any way to customize the order of favorites? Can’t find a way to sonthat in the app.

      Like I said, any help is greatly appreciated. Love the app so far but these two issues have me scratching my head!

      Thank you in advance.

        It seems you are talking about wave height and not wave period which is the time between 2 wave crests.
        Yes, you can have wave high waves with a light wind. This is because Waves is the total sea i.e. the sea generated by the local wind giving the “wind waves” plus the sea generated by remote winds giving the “swell”.
        For more information see this thread

        Also, is there any way to customize the order of favorites?

        Yes, if you swipe a favorite to the left, you can pin this favorite to the top of the list, and so you change the order in the list.
