       | It is worth noting this is for the purpose of video games or
       | visual effects not for scientific/operational simulations of the
       | ocean.
       | 
       | Daily operational wave forecasts are available from NOAA's
       | WaveWatch3 model here
       | https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/wavewatch/ . These data
       | products are wildly used by a variety of services including surf
       | forecasts.
       | 
       | NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory also
       | publishes nice graphics of the WaveWatch3 forecast for the great
       | lakes https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/emf/waves/WW3/
       | 
       | EDIT: So many interesting scales of wave research too!
       | 
       | Here is a very small scale study:
