Sea State or Wave Metre Height?
Is 225 or S92 good for Sea State 6 or 6 metre waves? And if it is based on sea state; which scale Beaufort or Douglas? See table below
The World Meteorological Organization (WHO) sea state code largely adopts the 'wind sea' definition of the Douglas Sea Scale.

5 2.5 to 4 Rough
6* 4 to 6* Very rough
7 6 to 9 High
8 9 to 14 Very high
9 Over 14 Phenomenal
*Beaufort Scale Sea State 6 is only 3-4 metre Wave Heights.
