“Thank you very much @surf-forecast.com, your information very much agree with experimental results. I will always reference you to others.
I will love to know if at least a one year forecast or archive for wave height, wave period, tidal height, and wind speed for the coast of Lagos Nigeria or the Bight of Benin is available.
Please kindly send to me I beg to [email protected]”
