Two-Tap Weather Routes
Product updates
Smart Auto Routing Based on Your Forecast, Your Boat, and You.
SeaPeople Premium Weather has been live for less than a month, and we’re already putting your feedback to work. Say hello to version one of Auto Weather Routing!
You’ve picked your next destination. Now let SeaPeople help you work out how to get there. Set your boat details and comfort preferences, and SeaPeople automatically calculates a route with wind forecasts in mind and finds a departure window that matches the conditions you’re comfortable with.
Prefer to plot your own route? Use the manual route planner and see the weather along the way. Same game, but you choose your path! See the conditions forecast along your planned journey, set your own comfort limits, and let SeaPeople find a departure window that works for you.
All part of our Premium Marine Weather tools and free for everyone for the next 100 years!
Tap Your Start. Pick Your Destination. Let’s Go.
Tap your start point and destination, add any waypoints, then set your boat details and sailing or motoring preferences. SeaPeople will find the best route for your boat, taking wind forecasts into account.
And voilà, your route is automatically planned!
From a short hop to your next anchorage to a longer passage, SeaPeople plans your route and shows you the forecast along the way. See how wind and waves are expected to change throughout your journey, with weather part of the plan from the start.
Polars Are Here!
Different boats sail differently. Polars describe how a boat is expected to perform at different wind speeds and angles, helping the planner account for your boat’s sailing performance when calculating a route.
Choose from default polars for vessel types, or import your own polars to plan using performance data specific to your boat.
Prefer To Plan Your Route Manually?
You can do that too! Use the manual route planner to plot your own route and see the forecast along your chosen path. Same weather tools, but you decide how to get there!
Our free Premium Weather tools include forecasts up to 10 days ahead, with hourly detail for the first 48 hours, plus information on wind, gusts, waves, and precipitation. Get a longer view while exploring your options and a closer look as departure approaches.
Find A Better Time To Leave
Once you know where you want to go, the next question is when.
The departure-window tool helps you find a day and time when forecast conditions match your comfort preferences. Set the wind and wave conditions you’re comfortable with, then use those thresholds alongside your route forecast to assess your options.
Could leaving later make for a more comfortable passage? Having your route, forecast, and comfort limits together makes that easier to work through.
Share Your Float Plan With Friends And Family
Once you’ve chosen your route and checked the weather, create a float plan in the Studio to share with friends or family so they know where you’re heading and when you expect to arrive.
Keeping someone ashore informed is a simple part of safer trip planning, giving them a plan to refer to if you don’t arrive or check in as expected.
