Viewing Sea Conditions
The sea conditions screen shows information about surface conditions, including winds, wave
height, wave period, and wave direction.
From the Home screen, select
Surface Winds
Surface winds appear on the sea conditions screen using wind barbs that indicate the direction from
which the wind is blowing. A wind barb is a circle with a tail. The flag attached to the tail of the
wind barb indicates the wind speed.

the same wave height.
The wave period indicates the time (in seconds) between successive waves.
Wave directions appear on the map using red arrows. The direction of each arrow pointer indicates
