The WAVEWATCH III significant wave height fields from 6 January at 0000 UTC to 8 January at 0000 UTC also show a wave maximum area between 14 and 20 m in the center of the Atlantic Ocean moving straight towards the British Isles and France.
On the Moroccan Atlantic coast, the model predicts significant wave height values between 6 and 9 m during the night of 6 to 7 January and morning of 7 January.
Recall that the significant wave height corresponds to the average of the third highest waves, although individual waves can be higher.
