A Closer Look at Wave Forecasts If you read a marine weather forecast predicting “SEAS 10 FT,” what is really being conveyed in that forecast? Hs = 10 ft H (mean) = (0.64)Hs = 6.4 ft H (most probable) = 6 ft H1/10 (10% highest waves) = (1.27)Hs = 12.7 ft H1/100 (1% highest waves) = (1.67)Hs = 16.7 ft Hmax (highest wave you shoul…
