Robert, With the implementation of Wavewatch, NCEP made a purposeful decision not to output swell information anymore. I can find the email which contains the details if you wish, because I asked the NCEP wave modelers about this over a year ago. Basically, it boiled down to the fact that swell information was not computed accurately in the models, and that swell information did not portray the ocean state very well anyway. If someone has code which computes swell in ocean wave output, I would be very grateful. We would like to include it in our implementation of WaveWatch.
