Forecast for the Drake Passage
Note the strong winds from the east that will be fighting the eastward-flowing current, a good recipe for big waves and a rough ride. The pointy end of the arrows indicates the direction of the wind. Each “feather” at the base is an addition 10 knots (11.15mph) of wind speed, and a half-feather is 5 knots. See www.passageweather.com for other details.
