Pushing this old request up again.

Any update on implementing a wave period layer? Should be easy enough, the data is already there, it only has to be visualised in a map overlay?

I don‘t know how difficult it is to implement, but I think it would allow a more detailed and better readability if the map legend (the color coding) would automatically adjust to the visible zones related to the zoom level someone is at.
For example in a global view I may have windspeeds from 0 to 60 knots visible, but if I zoom in to a smaller area, I have only windspeeds from 0-15 knots.
But the map legend always stays the same.

Pushing this thread again, still waiting on those wave period layers.

They would be so great to have, any update?

Hi,

maybe it already exists, but I haven’t found the way to do it, but I would love to be able to save different presets for different favorites.
For example: at my home location, I normally use the meteogram with icon-d2 forecast. But for my favourite surfspots I want to see waves and tides, depending on the location with ecmwf or icon forcast model. It‘s a bit annoying to always have to click multiple times to the desired data when changing from one favorite to the next.

2.) If you click on „compare forecasts“ it only compares the basic data. Why doesn‘t it compare the data I have selected (f.e. waves) with different forecast models?

Thanks. Yeah, good idea. I will play around a little more with the color coding.
Even though, I would still find an adjusted scale useful.

@idefix37

Yes I know you can customize the colors and that already makes a huge difference. But it doesn‘t change the fact, that very often, the colours ( and therefore the values) in the map are not really visible or recognizable by just looking at the the scale.

For example in the picture, the wave height in the map could be anything between 8 and 15 ft according to the color scale at the bottom.

Hi,

I would find it extremely useful, if the color scale at the bottom would automaticaly adjust to the displayed data on the map at the chosen zoom level. Or, if one could at least have different scale options to choose from.

It would be much easier to see differences when zoomed in. For example wave height:There is no sense in having a scale bar that runs from 0 ft all the way to 60 ft+, when the desired zoom level of the map shows 0-6ft

Surfer here as well ;-).

Yes please, swell period layers (for all 3 swells) would be fantastic and really useful.

Hi, as a surfer I use Windy a lot for planning where to go on my next trips. A great feature would be a wave period layer, which very often is better than the wave height in predicting if there are going to be good waves at a certain spot.
