Peak wave direction was not available for the 20-year hindcast, only the mean 

 wave direction. Wave components for sea (component 1) and swell (compo- 

 nent 2) were available for this data set and consisted of height, period, and 

 direction for each component. To get a representation of peak directions for 

 comparison, a direction was chosen from either the sea or swell. If the overall
