Swell forecast not working?

[wnissen]

Hi All,
I've been using the swell forecast at CDIP recent forecast fm_mon_xxx for a while now, but the past few days there have been big chunks missing, specifically Breakwater. Maybe it's related to the partial government shutdown?

A dive buddy recommended Surfer.com's SwellWatch 3D - Surf Report and Forecast as an alternative, but if anyone uses something else that they like, I'd be all ears. Thanks!

Hi @wnissen,
I use the same forecast tool and I've noticed the same issue. However, there is a link to their new wave model. It is pretty neat, a little slow, but useful and has "Nowcasts" as well as Forecasts all overlaid on a Google map.

I've started using this -> CDIP Models Ca

Give it a try!

Ah, I was seeing the missing tiles on the new wave model, but if I zoom in they appear. Thanks very much for your help!

You're very welcome. Yeah, you gotta zoom in to actually see the wave models.

They do have a report issues page and I'm gonna report the issue you and I are both seeing. Here is their link to report problems -> CDIP Notify Form

Yep, I did report it, thanks!

Thanks for letting us know about the model issues, they should
now be updating regularly. Please let us know if you notice any
further problems.

Just received this response, and it looks like the full forecast is once again displaying at all resolution levels. Thanks to all who reported.
