How this forecast is built

5 of 5 inputs reporting. Stations, locations, and roles are shown below.

live · forecast

NWS hourly forecast

RoleSupplies the hourly wind, sky, temperature, and precipitation forecast at this destination.

forecast point
Goose Rocks Beach · pin-43.39837--70.40546
Coordinates
43.3984° N, 70.4055° W

Hourly wind, weather, temperature, and precipitation forecast resolved from the selected latitude/longitude.

live · wave forecast

NWS coastal marine grid

RoleSupplies forecast wave heights, which Boat or Nope uses before buoy-based estimates when available.

marine grid point
Western Maine Shelf · 44030
Distance
13.2 NM from destination
Coordinates
43.1790° N, 70.4260° W

Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC 44030. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.

live · observed

NDBC 44030

RoleChecks recent observed wind and waves and helps fill gaps when the marine grid has no usable wave value.

buoy
Western Maine Shelf · 44030
Distance
13.2 NM from destination
Coordinates
43.1790° N, 70.4260° W

Nearest catalog buoy, 13.2 NM from the selected location. Observed wind and wave reports when this station reports seas.

live · prediction

CO-OPS 8418911

RoleSupplies predicted tide heights and high/low timing for each forecast day.

tide station
Wells · 8418911
Distance
8.3 NM from destination
Coordinates
43.3200° N, 70.5630° W

Nearest catalog tide station, 8.3 NM from the selected location. Tide predictions and high/low events in feet relative to MLLW for the available forecast days.

AviationWeather KPWM

RoleAdds nearby observed and forecast gust context from METAR and TAF reports.

aviation station
Portland Intl Jetport · KPWM
Distance
15.5 NM from destination
Coordinates
43.6462° N, 70.3093° W

Nearest aviation candidates: KPWM 15.5 NM, KPSM 26.5 NM, KLWM 51.6 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.
