Are you sure it still says that? Because when I load the Lennox forecast it now says SWELL HEIGHT.

I am a switched on guy steve, which is why I’m insisting that you back up your claims with some evidence. I have no dog in this fight and am comfortable with the idea that magic seaweed may well get it wrong. But I’ve also been having this conversation off and on for the last 15 years and it’s amazing how often it turns out to be user ignorance rather than a problem with the data

If only there was some way you hyperventilating tards could take a picture of what you are seeing on the website, let's call it a screenshot just for ease of reference, and edit that image to show what you mean.

On a desktop, samsung phone and iphone there is a graph that purports to show breaking wave height.

Could someone confirm.

For viewers playing at home, Ballina has a blue column and Lennox doesn't.

Thanks foamy. Although it’s actually just above that that Steve is referring to. On the Ballina forecast it says Breaking wave height but on the Lennox one it says Swell height (although I think this has been changed in response to this thread. I’m pretty certain that when I looked earlier it said Breaking wave height as Steve is suggesting)

Jesus Christ it has just changed back. Whatever it says Steve, just ignore it and treat Lennox as just a swell forecast

Ok, I’ve worked out what’s going on. If you’re on the magic seaweed model then the graph says Breaking wave height even though it isn’t forecasting that. If you change the model to NOAA or Proteus it just says Swell height

Fuck me. This is so retarded. I actually prefer the Iggs vs Beans saga because at least there is some hatred there.

On Magic Seaweed right now under Lennox head surf forecast there is a graph forecasting surf tomorrow at Lennox of 5.5ft (breakijng wave height).

Do you accept this as a forecast for surf here tomorrow for me to compare against?

Is that adequate evidence?

No Steve because it’s not forecasting Breaking wave height. It’s a typo, a lack of flexibility in the machine, a glitch. I admit that it is shit that they have that on their Lennox forecast but it’s clearly an error - just compare foamy’s screenshots. If you want to do a wave height check then you have to go off the Ballina forecast

I feel like we need to go back to first principles here.
