How this forecast is built
5 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
- Ipswich Bay · ipswich-bay
- Coordinates
- 42.6793° N, 70.6680° 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
- Massachusetts Bay · 44029
- Distance
- 10.4 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 42.5230° N, 70.5660° W
Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC 44029. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.
NDBC 44029
RoleChecks recent observed wind and waves and helps fill gaps when the marine grid has no usable wave value.
- buoy
- Massachusetts Bay · 44029
- Distance
- 10.4 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 42.5230° N, 70.5660° W
Nearest catalog buoy, 10.4 NM from the selected location. Observed wind and wave reports when this station reports seas.
CO-OPS 8443970
RoleSupplies predicted tide heights and high/low timing for each forecast day.
- tide station
- Boston · 8443970
- Distance
- 25.9 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 42.3530° N, 71.0500° W
Nearest catalog tide station, 25.9 NM from the selected location. Tide predictions and high/low events in feet relative to MLLW for the available forecast days.
AviationWeather KLWM
RoleAdds nearby observed and forecast gust context from METAR and TAF reports.
- aviation station
- Lawrence Muni · KLWM
- Distance
- 20.2 NM from destination
- Coordinates
- 42.7172° N, 71.1234° W
Nearest aviation candidates: KLWM 20.2 NM, KBOS 24.1 NM, KPSM 24.9 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.
