NWS … “The NWS, through this experimental product, will now provide wave height, period, and direction in the Coastal Waters Forecast (CWF). Currently, some Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) only provide significant wave height, while others only provide wind wave and swell, creating inconsistencies.  The Experimental CWF Wave Component Update will enable NWS WFOs to provide enhanced wave information.  For more information on this experimental product see the Product Description Document. We are seeking feedback on this over the next several months, so please send us your input via this user survey “
