PredictWind

When most of us go offshore, we like to have several sources of information, including updates on weather.  Chris Parker of the Marine Weather Center provides weather forecasting and weather routing for all SDSA rallies, including both planning for departure and daily while offshore.  Another service and SDSA sponsor is PredictWind for location tracking, weather and ocean current data.

The PredictWind Offshore App allows you to visualize the wind, waves, and currents using the top global weather models specific to your vessel and location.  The weather routing tool in the Offshore App can be updated at any time from your exact position giving boat-specific weather routing over low bandwidth connection. Forecast models are updated twice daily and having this data at your fingertips puts you in control, giving you the ability to make your own decisions and to validate other sources of information.
