Long Range Weather Forecasts
for planning passages

PREDICT WIND - Professional Passage Planning for Offshore Sailors .

For serious passage planning to and around Vanuatu, PredictWind is the tool I recommend above all others. It runs four weather models simultaneously so you can compare forecasts and get a real sense of how reliable the predicted weather window actually is — critical when you're committing to a 500+ mile offshore passage or planning your anchorages in Vanuatu.

The routing optimisation feature calculates the fastest and safest route based on your yacht's polar data and the forecast, something no free weather site comes close to matching. They have two Apps for your tablet or phone, the Predict Wind App for use with wifi or sim card connections and the Offshore App using satellite connection for offshore passages and tracking.

I've been using and recommending PredictWind to offshore sailors since 2011 and the latest advancements open a whole new era of sailing weather accuracy and safety.
