Paul D Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Found this useful table on the web. Good guide to the meaning of the various sea states reported on various web sites. However, the term "Slight becoming wavelets" is used on the BBC site - I presume this is say 0.5 m to 1.25m becoming less than 0.5m? Sea State Code Description Height(m) 0 Calm-glassy 0 1 Calm-rippled 0 - 0.10 2 Smooth-wavelet 0.10 - 0.50 3 Slight 0.50 - 1.25 4 Moderate 1.25 - 2.50 5 Rough 2.50 - 4 6 Very rough 4 - 6 7 High 6 - 9 8 Very high 9 - 14 9 Phenomenal Over 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
