Information
  • GFS wave maps every hour to 5 days and every 3 hours to 16 days (F000-F384), on the 00/06/12/18Z cycles, from the 0.25° GFS-Wave grid, for 57 ocean regions. Significant and maximum wave height, wind wave, swell and swell period, peak period, and the surface wind driving them. The newest cycle fills in as NOAA publishes it; this page picks up new hours by itself. (Land maps: GFS HOURLY · GFS 3-HOURLY.)
  • LAGGED (6 RUNS) shows the current run beside the five before it, all valid at the same time: how the forecast for that moment has changed run to run.
  • SAVE LOOP makes an MP4 or GIF of what you are looking at, for all the frames or just a range, in your browser; SAVE IMAGE saves the map on screen, or the six lagged runs on one PNG. Nothing is uploaded.
  • A service of weathermodels.com. The maps are created from NOAA's 0.25° GFS-Wave grid.
