Current Wave Height Ranking

Use the ranking to get a quick overview of where higher waves are being recorded now and to compare conditions at different coastal locations. A camera’s position reflects the current wave-height information available for its area: the higher it appears in the list, the greater the reported wave height at that time. Conditions can change as weather, wind and other natural factors shift, and the order may change as new information becomes available.

Wave heights are shown in metres or feet, depending on the source. The ranking may be useful to surfers, sailors, fishers and anyone interested in current sea conditions, as well as people choosing a place to watch or film waves. Treat camera readings as an indication rather than a guaranteed measurement. Visibility, camera angle, technical limits or a delay in the available information can affect what is shown. The ranking does not replace official forecasts or warnings; check those before making decisions that depend on sea conditions.
