|---|
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 12 | 118 | 408 | Hurricane | Huge waves. Sea is completely white with foam and spray. Air is filled with driving spray |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 11 | 102 | 118 | Violent Storm | Exceptionally high waves. Very large patches of foam |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 10 | 87 | 102 | Storm | Very high waves with overhanging crests. Large patches of foam from wave crests give the sea a white appearance. Considerable tumbling of waves with heavy impact. Large amounts of airborne spray reduce visibility. |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 9 | 74 | 87 | Strong Gale | High waves whose crests sometimes roll over. Dense foam is blown along wind direction. Large amounts of airborne spray may begin to reduce visibility. |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 8 | 31 | 74 | Gale | Moderately high waves with breaking crests forming spindrift. Well-marked streaks of foam are blown along wind direction. Considerable airborne spray. |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 7 | 50 | 31 | Near Gale | Sea heaps up. Some foam from breaking waves is blown into streaks along wind direction. Moderate amounts of airborne spray |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 6 | 39 | 50 | Strong Breeze | Long waves. White foam crests are frequent. Some airborne spray |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 5 | 29 | 39 | Fresh Breeze | Moderate waves |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 4 | 19 | 29 | Moderate Breeze | Small waves with frequent caps |
2015-06-04 07:32:57 | KurtHeckman | 3 | 11 | 19 | Gentle Breeze | Large wavelets. Some crests break into whitecaps |
