The sea conditions screen shows information about surface conditions, including winds, wave height, wave period, and wave direction.
From the Home screen, select Weather > Sea Conditions.
Surface Winds
Surface wind vectors appear on the Sea Conditions screen using wind barbs that indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing. A wind barb is a circle with a tail. The line or flag attached to the tail of the wind barb indicates the wind speed. A short line represents 5 knots, a long line represents 10 knots, and triangle represents 50 knots.
