Hi guys I'm fairly new to seabreeze but have a good question for you.

Is there any website that you know of that has combined wind & wave info for localised places?

eg. Zooming to a location such as Wollongong (so you can see the surrounding headlands) and having Wave & wind data overlayed on that so you can see how much swell and wind is getting into certain spots.

This means you can see if the South side of the headland has more swell or wind or the North side of the headland has more swell or wind.

If there isn't a website that does this is there one that shows localised wind and swell individually?

Thanks...

To answer it simply would be No.
Most of the peeps on here will use an array of different sites. Using that information, they harness their meteorological brains with some guess work and local knowledge to predict the best conditions for them and their local digs.
There is not enough weather stations / swell bouys / swell cams to accurately forecast every headland and bay.
You could always look outside, if the trees are bending, should be good

I reckon seabreeze is a good as you'll get anywhere.

One graph shows wind strength and direction, then scroll down and next graph shows swell height and direction. Swell direction will tell you what will get into your local (especially if we are talking a headland) and that is what most others miss out.

Easiest and fastest to read format I reckon too
