PredictWind - Marine Forecasts

Marine weather for people who actually go offshore

PredictWind - Marine Forecasts is built for sailors, boat owners, racers, and anyone planning time on the water. It provides marine forecasts rather than general city weather, with information on wind, waves, tides, currents, sea temperature, and other conditions that can affect a passage or a day on the boat.

Useful when a forecast needs checking

The app brings together several weather models, including ECMWF, ICON, UKMO, and PredictWind’s own PWAi and PWG models. Comparing forecasts can give experienced users a better sense of where the models agree and where conditions are uncertain. Forecasts can be viewed through maps, tables, and graphs, so it works for both a quick check and more careful planning.

Planning beyond the next few hours

PredictWind includes weather routing for sailing yachts and powerboats, using details such as vessel performance, tides, currents, and wave height to suggest a route. Its departure planning view helps users compare conditions across a four-day window. AIS information, live observations, and webcam feeds add context to the forecast, particularly when checking what is happening around a busy route or harbour.

Why it stays useful

This is a detailed tool, not a simplified rain-alert app. New users may need time to understand the charts and marine terminology, but that depth is also why it can remain useful after the first few outings. With a 4.69 rating from 28,651 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs, PredictWind has found a substantial audience for specialist weather information. It is developed by PredictWind Limited.
