| Short-term surface pressure charts |
| These are the most
fundamental charts, showing you where the lows and highs
are expected in the Atlantic. Predictions given for up to
3 days ahead. |
| |
| Medium-term surface pressure charts |
| These give predictions of
surface pressure from 3 to 6 days ahead. Less reliable
than the short-term ones. |
| |
| Long-term surface pressure
charts. |
| Surface pressure charts
for up to 10 days ahead. Also show gale probability
contours. Red contours mean strong wind, purple means
slack wind. Charts supplied by FNMOC |
| |
| Long-term surface charts (fast) |
| As above, for up to 9 days
ahead but all on the same page. These charts also show
the 500mb height contours (the jet stream). |
| |
| Short-term wave prediction charts |
| Predictions of (a) wave
heights; (b) direction of wave travel; and (c) whether
the waves are considered windsea or groundswell. Up to
48hrs ahead only. |
| |
| Short-term wave prediction charts
(2) |
| Predictions of wave height
and direction for the Bay of Biscay. Up to 48hrs ahead
only. |
| |
| Medium-term wave prediction charts |
| Separate charts of wave
height and period. Period is useful in distinguishing
between windsea and swell (short period = windsea, long
period = swell). |
| |
| Long-term wave prediction charts |
| Predictions of wave
heights and direction of wave travel for up to 5 days
ahead. Less reliable, and they don't go right up to the
coast, but useful nonetheless. |
| |
| Direct link to NGP Charts |
| Various charts from FNMOC.
For example, hit "Europe" and then "FNMOC
WAM", "all times". These charts will give
you wave height and wind arrows (no wave direction
though). |
| |
| Wind prediction charts |
| Contours of wind speed
plus arrows indicating expected direction. Up to 48hrs
ahead only. |
| |
| Directional spectra predictions |
| Predictions of wave
height, frequency and direction at a single point about
400NM southwest of Land's End, UK. Exact position 47:32
N, 8:30 W. For advanced users. |
| |
| Biscay wavebuoy |
| Real-time measurements of
waveheight and period from the Biscay wavebuoy. |
| |
| Cabo Peņas wavebuoy |
| Real-time measurements of
waveheight, period and direction from the Cabo Peņas
wavebuoy just off the coast of Asturias, Northern Spain.
