PredictCurrent App:
The PredictCurrent App was developed specifically for users who require advanced and comprehensive Tidal and Ocean Current data. Detailed Tables including wind against current, SST (Sea Surface Temperature), wave/wind maps, and high/low tide times and heights easily accessible on their iPhones. It's particularly useful for fishermen, dinghy sailors, pro-circuit racing, or day sailors who may not need the routing and departure planning features offered by PredictWind's standard/pro subscriptions.
The PredictCurrent App offers:
A dashboard of the current/wind/wave/tidal height in a simple, easy-to-understand format.
The current data is available on the tables page; this is not available in the PredictWind App, PredictWind website or Offshore App.
Wind against tide warnings to spot unsafe conditions.
The PredictCurrent App offers the tidal and ocean current data at less than half the price of a PredictWind Standard subscription.
Note—PredictCurrent does not have a webview and is only available on iPhones at present. The Android version will be released at a later date to be confirmed.
GRIBS are not available to download with a PredictCurrent subscription.
PredictWind:
If you have a standard or professional subscription to PredictWind, you already have access to the PredictCurrent dataset within the PredictWind website, PredictWind App, and Offshore App, so there's no need to purchase the data separately. Here's a breakdown of what each subscription level offers:
