Description

The Offshore App allows you to seamlessly download multiple GRIB files for your coastal and offshore passages.

Quickly download and view GRIB files, weather routes, GMDSS maps and text forecasts, AIS data and satellite imagery.

Access all the world’s top ranking forecast models for reliable and accurate weather data, including ECMWF, SPIRE, UKMO, GFS and more. Our very own PWG & PWE models offer incredible accuracy and a record-breaking 1km resolution.

In addition to forecasts, the Offshore App also provides a suite of powerful marine tools to save you time and keep you safe at sea.


Weather Routing and Departure Planning is calculated in the PredictWind cloud at the highest resolution. The finished route is then sent back to your boat in an incredibly small file size which is ideal for low bandwidth satellite and SSB connections.

The Offshore App works with Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and most satellite connections using an Iridium GO!, Globalstar or Optimizer device.

Specialized

This is a specialized application that is designed for downloading weather information from an Iridium sat phone while at sea. It is NOT intended for “general” use to get weather data from the web. If you have a web connection it is much easier and simpler to use PredictWind’s web interface.

Although the application is free, it requires a PredictWind subscription to be of real use. If you are looking for “free” stuff go elsewhere.

It does what it is supposed to do cleanly and well. It has been consistantly updated with useful new features. A

Recommend to all my clients

Teach2sail has logged over 50,000nm offshore supporting owners of various motor and sailing vessels. We use Predict Wind via SSB radio and the Iridium Go every time. Predict Wind has helped us successfully navigate all kinds of conditions from going between two cylones in the South Pacific Ocean to avoiding the Atlantic high/doldrums by moving from one weather system to another via a narrrow "bridge" of opportunity in the Atlantic. Presently crossing the Indian Ocean and wouldn't do it without them!

Can’t Imagine Life without it!

Since we bought our cruising cat we have sailed the Med, crossed the Atlantic, sailed the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast up to Maine and back down twice.
This program rocks!
While near shore we use our phone or tablet, but offshore we use Iridium Go!. Weather routing feels so much safer and let’s face it our lives depend on it.
Recommend spending time with it onshore, watching tutorials, and making your own notes before heading out as it takes time to learn and use it efficiently.
The support crew is an e mail or phone call away and they have always been quick to respond and extremely helpful.
This is the best bang for your buck when it comes to being safe at sea.
