Current Ovation Sailing going ok?

Curious if the current Ovation sail is going as scheduled….noticed the seas from Scotland to Iceland look incredibly rough 😱

She is currently docked in Killybegs, Ireland - near to Donegal.

What sight are you monitoring for sea conditions?  We're booked on the Ovation departing Copenhagen on Jun 25; our crossing to Iceland from Gothenburg Sweden departs 6 pm Jun 26 with two sea days arriving Djupivogur, Iceland at 8 am on the 29th.  A little anxious about the sea days although we did weather Drake Passage in Dec/Jan 2019.  Hopefully weather might be calmer in late June.

I use passageweather.com. First saw it being used in Antarctica on seabourn and has served me well since.  I particularly like the swell chart, which is the third one down after clicking on an area.   When I looked in relation to the original post, at that current time it was showing a swell height of 8-10m.  It can be higher. Always useful for the ferry crossing to Shetland in winter!  The forecast is every so many hours then less frequent as time progresses.

Thank you.  That's a great site.

I use vesselfinder.com and view the waves section.  If you click on the specific ship you can see wave height etc.  I recognize weather changes hourly but noticed the worst waves in the northern hemisphere was from Scotland to Iceland.
