    This document provides instructions for using a swell calculator to estimate swell height, period, angle, and arrival time based on fetch distance and coordinates. Users input the latitude and longitude coordinates defining the fetch area and forecast point, along with angular spread and period, and the calculator automatically outputs decayed swell height and other key metrics.

    Instructions Swell Height (feet)


    Fill in lines 2 through 7 (Fetch coordinates through Angular Spread (degrees)
    Period). All calculations (in gray) will be performed Period (Seconds)
    automatically. Coordinates are in decimal, so 35
    degrees 30 minutes would be 35.5. Also, use
    negative numbers for southerly latitudes and Distance (nautical miles)
    easterly longitudes; for instance, SoCal is at 33,
