          2. This graph shows you the most recent recorded sets by the webcam. If your Pro it will be almost live.

          3. The latest surf reports provided by our partners at the beach go here. If there are no surf reports then you'll see a breakdown of the current conditions.

          4. This is our new graph, you'll see a bunch of controls above it allowing you to edit the graph. You can also zoom in and out by selecting a range on the graph.

          5. We've made the forecast even simpler. The blue column is a guide to how big the waves on the beach are going to be. Click the cog and you can configure the wave height forecast to take account for local factors and your experience of surfing here. There's more information about this featureMore.

            In the advanced column we've got all the data you're used to, including the additional swells right in the table.
