“Love this website for ease of checking tides, ease of understanding mixed swells and added bonuses such as swell power, other sites dont have.
which as far as it seems to be a helping guide to timing between sets and distances swells penetrate though islands..
May seem like it wraps more too on high kj swells.(not just period.)
A few things i thought though: an easily checkable history of recent swells. However this might be bad for semi secret etc videos and people working out conditions a spot works on.
Just for well known spots, history would be great say such as tonight- went to compare swell energy and sizes between jaws and Waimea bay over the last swells (not interested in surfing them just info checking)
anyway thought for well known waves like pipe Waimea and jaws n mavericks history might be handy..Just not history of lesser known spots..
Not sure if this is a good idea or not myself.
-Silly season and all.
Happy new year.
Love this site more than willyweather etc which personally am autistic/illiterate reading the data of.
9/10 stars to you surf-forecat.com”
