The graph below shows the evolution of wave characteristics for a point near Casablanca. The barbs indicate the wind direction and speed; the arrows indicate the direction of propagation; and the curve shows the evolution of significant wave height.
Notice the gradual increase of significant wave height from 4.5 m in the beginning (17 January at 0000 UTC) to almost 7 m on 18 January at 0600 UTC.
