The Buoys Light Up: The wonderful Directional Spectra

Swellnet Analysis
Stu Nettle

Rather than the traditional X-Y line graph that can only chart one swell at a time, the Directional Spectra is a 360 degree screen that registers every swell in the water by its direction, its energy, and its period. This represents a significant leap forward. Whereas the line graph could only plot the most dominant swell in the water, the Directional Spectra chronicles multiple swells.
