Swell Window Analysis

Swell Window Analysis MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Geometric analysis of swell windows and coastal shadowing.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides geometric tools to analyze how ocean swell interacts with specific coastlines. It calculates the available swell window based on bathymetry, identifies blocked directions caused by offshore obstacles like islands or headlands using analyze_obstruction_shadows, and determines the most effective wave direction via identify_optimal_direction. It is designed for surf forecasting and coastal engineering analysis.

What is the swell window for a coastline at 90 degrees with this bathymetry: [{"x": 10, "y": 5}]?

The available swell window is between 45 and 135 degrees with a total width of 90 degrees.

Will an island at {x: 50, y: 50} with radius 5 block a swell coming from 180 degrees?

Yes, the island at those coordinates creates a shadow zone that blocks the 180-degree swell direction.

What is the optimal swell direction for a coast at 0 degrees if available angles are [45, 90, 135] and 90 is blocked?

The optimal swell direction is 45 degrees.

You can use the `calculate_swell_window` tool by providing the coastline bearing and a JSON string representing the bathymetry profile.
