Here you can view any of the individual WAVEWATCH III® graphic products
generated during the last six model runs. Simply follow the steps and
click to choose the Model, Forecast Zone, Model Run Time, Product, and then click
on a Forecast Time (0 is the nowcast, negative times are hindcasts, positive
times are forecasts). Buoy information for the selected region is also given
in the form of spectral plots, source term plots, and Spectral Bulletins.

NW Atlantic (Global) (Latest run) 2018/04/21 18z
Peak Wave Period and Direction
The peak period identifies either the
period (the time between waves) associated with the locally generated wind sea (in cases
with strong local winds) or the dominant wave system (swell) that is
generated elsewhere. Note that the peak period field shows discontinuities.
These discontinuities can loosely be interpreted as swell fronts, although
in reality many swell systems overlap at most locations and times.
