Maps, forecasts, and live observations

Check detailed forecasts for locations around the world, then use the animated wind map to compare conditions across a wider area.

Marine information covers wave height, wave period, wave direction, and tidal water levels.

The app also shows current measurements and weather observations from weather stations, helping you compare the forecast with conditions being reported now. Webcams, satellite imagery, and topographic maps provide additional context when you are assessing a route or a launch point.
