      Swell height in knots???, temps nothing like 10-34, directions: of what? winds? swells?

      Love the service, but this particular feature is not really a feature at the moment.

        Hi @mr.realsurf
        the graphics in the email doesn't show swell but wind.

        Showing swell and more details about the alert trigger is something we will improve in the future.

          The user is probably referring to this part of the text, not of the graphic.

          In Windy the swell parameters are significant height, period and power. Not the speed.
          Significant height and period of swell would be much more useful than the max/min air temperatures which do not correspond to the temperatures in the graph (but I’m not a surfer).

            Their surf alerts have always been questionable in its accuracy.
