The Departure Planning tool is the perfect tool for Sailboats and Powerboats to decide which time to depart on a passage.

Using the power of the PredictWind Weather Routing, Departure Planning compares four departure dates and associated weather conditions to enable you to make the best departure decision.

Departure Planning performs 15 billion calculations in the PredictWind cloud. This data is then summarized to ensure selecting a safe start to your passage is both easy and stress-free.

Watch the Departure Planning overview below:

See the average, maximum, and minimum wind speeds, wave height, direction and period, ocean currents, CAPE and rain that you’ll encounter on your route. Also view how much of your route will be upwind, reaching and downwind, for each departure date.

Note : For Departure Planning a Standard or Professional Forecast subscription is required.
