      Re: Wind & Waves picker no longer displays "Waves" flag

      Good morning,

      Wondering what the reason is for not showing a wave flag in the wind&waves overview like already mentioned in this older post. I think its so confusing that two of three stats are shown by flags, but then the waves are not shown with one of these flags. You have to look for this data in the table below.

      Especially on days like these I much rather have the 0.6 to 0.9 meter waves than a 0 meter swell flag. But preferable all of the above in the same view.

      It would make much more sense, to us at least, maybe other people have different opinions, if there would also be a flag for waves like how i drew the red line in here

        I guess this is probably because this diagram was designed for surfers. They focus on the main swell while wind waves and secondary swells are just disturbances.
        I agree with you, showing Waves (the total sea) would be useful for sailors and other activities at sea.

          @idefix37 that sort of makes sense. Thank you!

          I'm still hoping its a feature they could add, maybe with the option to disable it for people not interested in this info, but for the others to have a full overview of what to expect on the water.
