How calm water works

Calm water comes from shelter: a bay, a barrier island, a reef, or a shore that faces away from the prevailing swell. The score is from the mean significant wave height over three years, so it describes a typical day, not a storm or a flat morning.

How we verify calm water

Scored from the mean significant wave height over the last three years of marine model data. A mean under 1.0 ft (0.3 m) scores 10; over 4.9 ft (1.5 m) scores 0. Monthly values are shown on each beach. Sources and methodology
