This is their idea of a replacement:

Yeh mate i used it cause it was good to see the pulses from the other directions.

i agree if it ain't broke why duck with it

Not happy Jan

I have emailed them previously when they went off-air for days/weeks.
I was told they had a struggle with the data.

Some time ago they changed the data from live to one hour old to clean up something, I know not what.
But to remove the directional spectra completely is very sad.

The nearshore data need to hold the zoom setting for it to be anything other than annoying.
The combination of swell appears lacking in the data and can mean the difference between a nice "ground" swell and waves that are a bunch of junk.

A few weeks ago I was checking MHL, Coastalwatch, Swellnet and Windy.com. They were all different. Some a little and some a lot.
eg CW ... NE swell. MHL ... SE swell. Too confusing. And now they have "improved" the MHL it will be less logical to the every Joe. Until we get used to it at least. Best bet is look at the ocean.

Looks like it is back.

I thought I should celebrate the current swell with this graphic:


Big (the red bits), but a bit messy (the green bits)
