How to interpret surf swell charts?

Thanks for all of the information.

If you move the cursor in the swell chart a black window appears. Inside of the black window it indicates the swell at that time, i.e. 4ft/12PM. Under the line in the black window, the 1ft@12s SSW appears as well.

yeah EXACTLY.....

Inside of the black window is the COMBINED swell height (4ft/12PM)of ALL the swells listed Under the line in the black window....... 1ft@12s SSW..... there are multiple swells all happening right now. They combine to make the 4 ft swell that is being observed. Get it?
