Downwind laylines

My upwind laylines pretty much countdown nicely and are fairly stable.

But my downwind laylines pretty much tend to swing about  so much it’s hard to know when you’ve definitely reached the gybe points. I have TWD damped .

Anyone else get this?

Definitely damp TWS.

Or look at your strip chart data of relevant vars (TWS, TWA, Target angle/speed) to review what is looking 'noisy'.
