How this forecast is built
5 of 5 inputs reporting. Stations, locations, and roles are shown below.
Resolved directly from the destination coordinates.
The buoy fills wave gaps and supplies observations.
Predicted heights and high/low timing.
Shown when the selected buoy reports it.
NWS hourly forecast
RoleSupplies the hourly wind, sky, temperature, and precipitation forecast at this destination.
- forecast point
- Freedom Boat Club RI · freedom-boat-club-ri
- Coordinates
- 41.5680° N, 71.2517° W
Why this sourceResolved from the destination coordinates, so it represents the selected harbor rather than a nearby city.
Data timingForecast grid updated · 15 min ago
ConfidenceThe forecast is resolved directly at this location.
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.

Why this sourceResolved on the coastal marine grid at NDBC BUZM3, the selected marine reference point for this destination.
Data timingMarine grid updated · 43 min ago
ConfidenceThe selected source is within 25 NM of the destination.
Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC BUZM3. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.
NDBC BUZM3
RoleChecks recent observed wind, waves, and water temperature and helps fill gaps when the marine grid has no usable wave value.

- Coordinates
- 41.7240° N, 71.4282° W
Why this sourceChosen from the nearest aviation candidates that returned a current METAR or TAF report.
Data timingLatest METAR observation · 46 min ago
ConfidenceThe selected source is within 25 NM of the destination.
Nearest aviation candidates: KPVD 12.3 NM, KEWB 14.7 NM, KWST 27.9 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.
