Best route every time

Big data, small downloads

Our cloud-based Weather Routing accesses high resolution forecast data without needing to download it. We calculate your route, send it back to you on the boat and you’re away!

Save hours of download time and big data bills with your offshore internet connection by using PredictWind Weather Routing.

28 Day Forecasts

For longer routes and projections, Weather Routing uses the ECMWF Ensemble Forecast. This is currently the world’s most accurate long range forecast and will let you plan your trip well in advance, with better accuracy than traditional climate forecasts.

Wave Modelling

Enter your boat dimensions to activate advanced wave modelling. This feature uses 3D hydrodynamic modelling to calculate how your individual hull shape will interact with the forecasted wave conditions. This data is then included in your route calculations, resulting in the most accurate Weather Routing tool on earth.

Detailed sea state breakdown

The ocean surface can be affected by different wind waves and swells of varying sizes and directions. We calculate the above safety metrics using primary, secondary, tertiary swell, and wind wave data. These can be viewed as a combined output, or dig deeper to look at each swell layer individually.
