This new tool empowers sailors, mariners, and adventurers to make informed decisions about the best times to travel by offering month-by-month insights into average wind, wave, and weather conditions for any location worldwide.
Gain Insight from 10 Years of Historical ECMWF Weather Data
The Climate Data feature provides users with rolling averages of weather conditions from the last 10 years, using observed historical weather data from ECMWF. Jon Bilger, PredictWind Director commented, “This dataset is unique, we have used phenomenal amounts of computing power to collate and average the data for the entire world in 30 km resolution”. This means users can confidently choose the optimal time of year for their next adventure by exploring:
- Wind (Windrose)
- Wave (Waverose)
- Air temperature

- Sea surface temperature
- Cloud coverage
- Highest gusts

The Climate Data tool allows users to understand seasonal variability by displaying how wind, wave, and other weather patterns change across the four seasons. Users can easily identify the best months for calmer or more consistent conditions, making it simpler to plan ahead for smoother sailing or to avoid potential extreme weather conditions.
