FNMOC Global WAM Forecasts Wave Height Forecasts by the US Navy Fleet Numerical Modelling Center. The Loop is really handy.
Significant Wave Height (ft.) and Direction And others. |

The OMB model also includes forecast wave direction
spectra, for the wave buoys
in Atlantic Waters. Results are for run time (00 GMT) of the model only.
It gives you a good idea of the direction of the swell,

Scrips use the following NCEP OMB WAM Wave data to produce some forecast pictures and a neat animation. | ||

The very good charts by Gold Coast weather are now available by subscription only. These use the NCEP OMB data, but are far easier to read. They have height and direction, but not period. (~30k) | ||
Sometimes Europe can receive swell from Atlantic hurricanes either when they sit spinning off the Eastern seaboard of the US or if they cross the Atlantic. Check out the track of the latest Tropical storms at the National Hurricane Center or Weather Underground. |
