   began assimilating the GeoOptics data so both changes were tested in one 
   package.
 
+  There are several wave related fixes being included in this update. The 
+  first is including the RW-NHC* boundary points which are used in NHC's 
+  offline NWPS system were removed from multi_1 to GFSv16.  The second is 
+  to fix the interpolation to the East Pacific wave grid to include all 
+  of the American Samoa islands.  
+
+
+CHANGES TO RESOURCES AND FILE SIZES
+
+  Impact of including RW-NHC points is: There should be no impact to the 
+  forecast job timing, however the *wave.out_pnt.points* files in the 
+  wave/rundata com directories will each increase in size by 6MB. The 
+  JGLOBAL_WAVE_POST_BNDPNTBLL and JGLOBAL_WAVE_POST_BNDPNT will now take 
+  approximately 20 minutes longer.  The gfswave.tZZz.ibpbull_tar will 
+  increase in size to be 78M, gfswave.tZZz.ibpcbull_tar will now be 42M 
+  and the gfswave.tZZz.ibp_tar file will now be 11 GB.  
+
+  Impact of East Pacific and global 0p25 wave grid fixes: There are no 
+  impacts in terms of resources or file size.
