How this forecast is built
4 of 5 inputs reporting. Stations, locations, and roles are shown below.
NWS hourly forecast
RoleSupplies the hourly wind, sky, temperature, and precipitation forecast at this destination.
- forecast point
- Birch Harbor · birch-harbor
- Coordinates
- 44.3867° N, 68.0402° W
Hourly wind, weather, temperature, and precipitation forecast resolved from the selected latitude/longitude.
NWS coastal marine grid
RoleSupplies forecast wave heights, which Boat or Nope uses before buoy-based estimates when available.
- marine grid point
- Gulf of Maine · 44005
- Distance
- 85.4 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 43.2010° N, 69.1270° W
Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC 44005. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.
NDBC 44005
RoleChecks recent observed wind and waves and helps fill gaps when the marine grid has no usable wave value.
- buoy
- Gulf of Maine · 44005
- Distance
- 85.4 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 43.2010° N, 69.1270° W
Nearest catalog buoy, 85.4 NM from the selected location. Observed wind and wave reports when this station reports seas.
NDBC: 404 Not Found
CO-OPS 8413320
RoleSupplies predicted tide heights and high/low timing for each forecast day.
- tide station
- Bar Harbor · 8413320
- Distance
- 7.1 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 44.3920° N, 68.2050° W
Nearest catalog tide station, 7.1 NM from the selected location. Tide predictions and high/low events in feet relative to MLLW for the available forecast days.
AviationWeather KBHB
RoleAdds nearby observed and forecast gust context from METAR and TAF reports.
- aviation station
- Hancock County-Bar Harbor · KBHB
- Distance
- 14.3 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 44.4500° N, 68.3615° W
Nearest aviation candidates: KBHB 14.3 NM, KRKD 49.6 NM, KPWM 107.6 NM.
Hourly seas: NWS coastal marine-grid wave height is preferred when available. Gaps fall back to the latest NDBC wave observation projected with forecast wind; fallback values are planning estimates, not NOAA wave forecasts.
Verdict: Go, Caution, No-Go, or Incomplete is derived from the boat limits you select for wind and seas.
