Ie force 4/5 etc , since I did my exams to many years ago , that it was the Beaufort scale . But today on a quiz show that it is the Douglas scale. Is it just me .
The sea state scale

Beaufort is a windscale measurement based on the effect of wind on the sea, Douglas is a scale of the state of the sea itself.

Put it this way , you just come into port and I asked as I was exiting , and I said what’s the wind like you would say force 4/5 and I would say cheers .

Yes, because you were asking about wind, not sea state.
Then again, you might get told to stay in the pub because it's Harry Roughers

No you didn’t .
Post one started “Sea state scale” “ie force 4/5 etc”
Your post immediately muddled up sea state in the title and wind force in the first sentence - with the “ie” clearly intended to link but wrong

Beaufort is a measurement of wind from what I understand , where you state it it’s the effect of the sea, I think that’s wrong .

No, it is correct. You measure the wind by the effect it is having on the sea. There is also a table for effect on land.

And I don't care. It lovely and calm here and I have found my local bar.

But now wind is measured accurately by speed.
The actual sea state scale used for the UK maritime forecasts is indeed the Douglas scale - Douglas sea scale - Wikipedia
