I am a Chater fishing captain and use a variety of apps to keep my clients safe on our fishing trips. I use Windfinder for the prediction of wind and waves. With wind, they are good. With waves, they are consistently bad. I routinely add 1-2’ to their predictions in the 2-5’ range. Sometimes, they are WAY off, which costs me money and reputation. When Windfinder tells me the wind is 15-18 and waves 2’, I KNOW they are WAY OFF. The waves will 3-5’, especially if it’s been blowing for a couple of days. This is bourne out on the report page. So, be careful with the wave predictions.
