Wave Height, Wave Period, and Wave Direction

Wave heights for an area appear as variations in color. Different

colors indicate different wave heights, as shown in the legend.

The wave period indicates the time (in seconds) between

successive waves. Wave period lines indicate areas that have

the same wave period.

Wave directions appear on the chart using red arrows. The

direction of each arrow pointer indicates the direction in which a

wave is moving.

Another Time Period

Viewing Fishing Information

The weather Fishing chart shows present water temperature,

present surface pressure conditions, and fishing forecasts.

Select Charts > Fishing.

Surface Pressure and Water Temperature Data

Surface-pressure information appears as pressure isobars and

pressure centers. Isobars connect points of equal pressure.

Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind

conditions. High-pressure areas are generally associated with

fair weather. Low-pressure areas are generally associated with

clouds and the chance of precipitation. Isobars packed closely

together show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure

gradients are associated with areas of stronger winds.

Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury

(inHg), or hectopascals (hPa).

Colored shading indicates the surface temperature of the water,

as shown in the legend in the corner of the display.
