What PredictWind covers on the water

PredictWind Marine Forecasts is a weather app for people who spend time on the water in sailing yachts, powerboats and other vessels. It centres on wind, waves and ocean currents, and it adds tidal information to the picture. The listing presents it as both a forecast viewer and a set of planning tools.

The forecast side draws on a number of established weather models, which the listing names individually. The developer also lists its own models, PWAi, PWG and PWE, and says they are aimed at the short to medium range.

Forecast models behind the numbers

Forecasts come from ECMWF, AIFS, ICON, UKMO and GFS, along with others the listing covers under "and more". Choosing between sources lets a user compare what different models predict for the same stretch of water. The listing gives no detail on how the models are combined or weighted.

The developer's own PWAi, PWG and PWE models are described as covering the short to medium range. The listing says they are more accurate than the others in that window, but gives no figures to back the claim.

Maps for wind, waves and sea conditions

The maps are offered in high resolution and cover wind, gusts, CAPE, waves, rain, cloud cover, pressure, air temperature, sea temperature and solunar data. The listing also mentions ocean data as a separate category. Each one is a layer a user can view on its own.

The listing says the maps are meant for sailing yachts, powerboats and any other marine activity. A sailor checking the wind and gust layers before leaving harbour would use them differently from someone checking the wave or rain layers.

Planning a passage with weather routing

Weather routing takes a start point and an end point and calculates a route through the forecast. The calculation uses tides, currents, wind, wave data and water depth. It also takes into account the dimensions of the sailing yacht or powerboat.

The route can be optimised for comfort or for speed, so the user picks which matters more for the passage. The listing presents this as a way to save time and stay safe at sea, but it does not describe how the routing behaves in a given case.
