      The wave and swell report for a site is incompatible with the circle diagram attached to that site. In particular, the swell and swell two on the diagram are typically much less than reported on the outlook bar for that location.

        Swell and Wind on the arrows are identical to those in the outlook diagram. Swell 2 is not shown in the outlook diagram.

          What is the difference between swell and wave?
          Often I see wave height 2 - 3 X bigger than swell height....
