<![CDATA[Max wave height]]>Hi, I’m really loving the windy app and I think the developers are doing a fantastic job! I would really love to see max wave height added (Swell Height + wind wave height) the same a BOM has but also have the option added to the alerts.

Cheers!!

It is important to note that the probability of meeting these max waves is much lower than that of waves at significant height (SWH).

  • Bureau of Meteorology consider that the max waves (2 x SWH) may be met 3 or 4 times per day.

  • Météo France forecast 1 max wave (1.8 x SWH) per 6 hours.

Swell Height + wind wave height= significant wave height.
Max. Wave is something different.
Usually it is a single large wave, estimated as 1.8 to 2 times the significant height.
