As a result, there is often a significant gap between the last measured historical wave height and the first forecast wave height.\r\n![screen shot 2016-06-16 at 8 43 51 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/17957490/16114307/eac8f3ac-3403-11e6-868f-890bbf470b3b.png)\r\n\r\nIn addition, the forecast from http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld2.asp seems to be updated only once a day. In the following screenshot from http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld2.asp was captured at 8:45 PM on Jun 16. The forecast wave height for Jun 16 stays the same throughout the day.\r\n![screen shot 2016-06-16 at 8 43 59 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/17957490/16114437/9ce02498-3404-11e6-8c9a-8f3c9389cba9.png)\r\n\r\nAnother forecast data source from QLD government http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/forecasts/cairns-coast.shtml may be better than http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld2.asp\r\nThe forecast from QLD government is less over-exaggerated and aligns with historical data. However, the forecast from QLD government is 4-day data. Moreover, the forecast is not precise numbers but verbal description, such as \"1 to 1.5 metres\" and \"Around 1 metre\"\r\n![screen shot 2016-06-16 at 8 44 08 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/17957490/16114601/6c2cf122-3405-11e6-9767-53446fec5da5.png)\r\n\r\nNeed more survey on these forecast data sources."}}
