Looks like a model that predicts how high the waves will be....

NOAA's Wave Watch III output. This model forecasts swell height, wind wave height, wave period, wave direction and wind speed and direction. Pretty much the surfer's bible

It also nailed Charley long before others. It was the only model I followed for years.
