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 or Professional Forecast 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 Forecast Subscription.
Note : PredictCurrent is an App and cannot be viewed as a web page on a Laptop or Computer. It is only available on iOS, so iPhones/iPads at present. The Android version will be released at a later date, yet to be confirmed.
The PredictCurrent App dashboard is not available in PredictWind.
GRIBs are not available to download with a PredictCurrent subscription.
