Your not trying to better the sea at it's own game but....
In order to be prepared for going boating one must have a clear marine forecast, prior to departure. Not being prepared is fool hardy. There are all kinds of considerations and situations, that if you plan for, can be avoided.
Up to the minute data is a valuable resource.Whether your a weekender out on the water ,or if your planning a trip. Of course if you are a racer then you will know how valuable that data is!
From that preparation you should know at least:
-
The direction of prevailing wind
-
Where and when is quickest to sail to or from
-
What the tide is doing
-
Whether you have an early start

You don't want one of these sneaking up!
There are more factors which we can look at too:
Of course you can get a lot more information these days as well. Nowadays satellites mean you have access to a large range of data. This can be displayed graphically or as a report.
Depending on your choice, It's also possible to:
- track storms
- surface pressure
- wave height
Your safety at sea depends upon this ability to track weather. If your boating around areas that have heavy weather warnings then you will appreciate the advanced warnings delivered by these systems.
