Global wave height map

Anyone using this wave energy and wave height map before passage planning?

North-Atlantic Surf Map – Wind and Wave forecasts

The biggest trouble is not necessarily where the strongest wind is...

Re: Global wave height map

I use Windy.com. Gives me both GFS and ECMWF wind and waves (plus other weather phenomena of interest) and the ability to zoom right in and click to get forecasts for specific points.

Here's the same area as your link:

Waves: https://www.windy.com/?waves,46.619,-43.594,4
Wind: https://www.windy.com/?37.649,-52.998,4

Re: Global wave height map

Thanks! Windy seems more pessimistic - they might take a different percentile from the statistics - probably better to take that one as precaution. What I linked however seems easier to get an overview with numbered lines.
