IPMA forecasts the sea for 12 coastal places, three days at a time: the significant wave height (the "total sea"), the swell's height and peak period, the prevailing direction and the sea surface temperature, each as the day's minimum and maximum. These are forecasts by IPMA, shown as IPMA's. Each time a day's forecast changed between two of our reads, both versions are kept: the view draws the latest and lists the earlier ones.
