Swellmap forecasts high resolution specific beach (close to shore) and marine (further out to sea) points that reflect the local geography and complex transformation of wind and waves around New Zealand’s coast.
This demanding analysis was originally developed to meet the critical needs in the offshore engineering and port industries, a great proving ground for the quality of forecasts now available FREE to all marine users.
