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
Highlands Marina · highlands-marina
Coordinates
40.4006° N, 73.9871° 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
New York Harbor Entrance · 44065
Distance
13.2 NM from destination
Coordinates
40.3680° N, 73.7010° W

Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC 44065. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.

live · observed

NDBC 44065

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

buoy
New York Harbor Entrance · 44065
Distance
13.2 NM from destination
Coordinates
40.3680° N, 73.7010° 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 8531680

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

tide station
Sandy Hook · 8531680
Distance
4.1 NM from destination
Coordinates
40.4669° N, 74.0094° W

Nearest catalog tide station, 4.1 NM from the selected location. Tide predictions and high/low events in feet relative to MLLW for the available forecast days.

AviationWeather KJFK

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

aviation station
New York/JFK Intl · KJFK
Distance
17.6 NM from destination
Coordinates
40.6392° N, 73.7639° W

Nearest aviation candidates: KJFK 17.6 NM, KMJX 32 NM, KFRG 32.9 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.
