This is really cool! Thank you for submitting it!<p>It is worth noting this is for the purpose of video games or visual effects not for scientific/operational simulations of the ocean.<p>Daily operational wave forecasts are available from NOAA's WaveWatch3 model here <a href="https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/wavewatch/" rel="nofollow">https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/wavewatch/</a> . These data products are wildly used by a variety of services including surf forecasts.<p>NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory also publishes nice graphics of the WaveWatch3 forecast for the great lakes <a href="https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/emf/waves/WW3/" rel="nofollow">https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/emf/waves/WW3/</a><p>EDIT: So many interesting scales of wave research too!<p>Here is a very small scale study: <a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2017gl072883" rel="nofollow">https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/201...</a>
This is super cool, if you want to watch the videos, they are linked from the wayback page.<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250305164452/https://jcgt.org/published/0014/01/05/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20250305164452/https://jcgt.org/...</a>
