About PredictWind
PredictWind provides high-resolution wind and marine forecasts for sailors and offshore racers. Beyond forecast maps, it offers weather routing, which suggests a course based on forecast conditions, and departure planning to compare when to set out on a passage.
It suits cruising sailors and racers who plan passages around the weather and want forecast and routing tools in one place rather than reading raw GRIB files themselves.
