(2) Surfers will want either the significant wave height, or
(3) the Primary Swell Period (how far the wave has travelled and the power of the wave).
Tip: Bookmark the page and try the different combinations at different times.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7UDVeD2pvrpBuPu_cx6TWKnl_hU8F0In_e10irnvAFlf7rLU9geVeBEZK4UQvCc0PQlimnduW1EsGiC-VsaU5astvczgzZELjXXp66txRZiHBJS5OpglH1qjlnTEcMjF7GPd8IrvdezM/s320/noaa11.gif)
