Your best time on the water.
OffshoreCast brings marine and beach weather into one clear view for small-boat trips and beach visits along the California coast.
A CLEARER VIEW OF YOUR DAY
See a color-coded conditions assessment and the weather factors behind it. Explore potential departure windows and choose a boat profile to put wind and waves in context.
WIND, WAVES AND TIDES TOGETHER
Explore hourly forecasts, gusts, wave height and period, swell, wind waves and tide predictions. Compare forecast models to see where they agree and where uncertainty remains.
OBSERVATIONS ALONGSIDE FORECASTS
Compare nearby NOAA buoy observations with modeled conditions. View official NWS marine alerts where available, and check the freshness of your data.
YOUR CALIFORNIA COAST
Explore 72 boating locations and 445 California beaches on the map. Save your own spots and switch between the places you visit. Check wind, visibility and sunset outlooks for today and tomorrow. English and Simplified Chinese are included, with imperial and metric units, a separate Celsius/Fahrenheit setting, and light and dark themes.
PLAN AHEAD
Save forecast packs for offline reference and set optional boat-trip reminders. Offline forecasts show their age and may differ from current conditions.
START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Use OffshoreCast without signing in. An optional account lets you sync saved spots across your devices. Enjoy a clean experience with no ads in this version.
Forecasts are provided for reference only and must not be your sole basis for going to sea. Always consult official NOAA/NWS marine forecasts and warnings and exercise your own judgment. OffshoreCast is not a navigation system or a guarantee of safe conditions. Forecasts and observations may be incomplete, delayed or unavailable.
