Waves

Hey
We are currently extremely depending on waves on our job. We have a limit on 1,5 meters significant.
The values shown in the app or webpage is it maximum, average or significant waves?

@keyeffdee
Significant wave height
i.e. the mean wave height (trough to crest) of the highest third of the waves.

@ivo
I think you have to change the definition, here:

Is significant wave height, not mean wave height.

Confirm that "Waves" mean Significant wave height. Description corrected.
