One place where I thought that there may be an error was in the angle values of the grid file. But, as shown below, they are relatively small and now I'm not so sure that they're the cause of this zeta boundary error. Thanks for any tips about where I might have gone wrong with my model setup, I appreciate the help!

I've also included below the output from my header file if it's useful.
