The next 7 days. Each day's wave height, green on a good day for expert surfers. A spot that does not suit them is tagged with the level it suits and never goes green for them.

Wave height in feet, the wave energy in kJ under it.GoodUnder each day, the wind in knots: the arrow points where it blows to.

Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Cambria, to spots that land joins: none across a bay or on another island. A drive marked "about" is our estimate: the straight line times 1.8 minutes a km, measured on the drives we have routed (half of those come within 21% of the routed time).
