Each code figure except "zero" covers a range of 1/2 meter; 

 e.g., code figure 1 = 1/4 meter to 3/4 meter, code figure 

 2 - 3/4 meter to 1-1/4 meters. 



If the wave height is exactly between the heights corresponding 

 to two code figures, the lower code figure is reported. 



For wave heights greater than 31 feet (9-3/4 meters), the 

 code figure 9 for 30-1/2 feet (9-1/2 meters) is reported, 

 followed by the words "SEA WAVES" or "SWELL WAVES" 

 and the actual height of the waves in feet or meters; e.g., 

 "SEA WAVES" or "SWELL WAVES 37" depending on whether 

 sea or swell waves are greater than 30-1/2 feet.
