### 3/5 — No data available for wave station or wave buoy

*2023-07-27*

Can you fix it so that it will get updates

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-06-10*

Won’t link to any tide stations - certainly none in the civilised world.   (USA hardly counts as it is a doubtful entrant in that league - as they don’t play cricket)

And it shows measurements in a 19th century measurement system relating wave heights to the length of a king of England’s lower limb!

Don’t waste your fingerprint!
