It’s been a few weeks since I published anything new. Here’s something that I haven’t seen on Facer before - Wave heights.
It’s summer and I’ve been doing some fishing, and with a small boat I usually look at the wave height before I go out. If it’s too rough, I won’t bother. Thought I’d make a watch face out of it. This face uses the Beaufort Wind Force Scale to determine wave heights. See https://www.holmanindustries.com.au/beaufort-wind-force-scale/ for information on that.
Normal view:
-Time, date, steps on guy fishing in copper boat.
-Sunset/sunrize graphed on imaginary 24 hour dial with noon at top and midnight at bottom, red line shows current time.
-Current weather condition icon and temperature.
-Current Wave height graphically plotted, along with estimated value & breeze classification. Wind speed and direction also noted.
Multi-View Mode: (Tilt Watch 4 degrees)
-5 day forecast conditions, along with graphed daily high/low temperatures
My graphical skills are mediocre, and i struggled to get a good presentation here, and I can only say it turned out so so. So if some of you way more graphically talented guys here want to give it a go and add wave height to your watch face, here is my code. I only ask that you reference this post if you use it. Consider this a design challenge if you wish. And if you do use it, please post your creation below! I’d love to see it!

Of course currents & tides can play a significant role in wave height too, but well, gotta work with the data at hand.
