How this forecast is built

3 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
Lords Passage · lords-passage
Coordinates
41.2927° N, 71.9034° 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
Central Long Island Sound · 44039
Distance
35.2 NM from destination
Coordinates
41.1380° N, 72.6550° W

Wave-height forecast resolved at NDBC 44039. Used before Boat or Nope's observed-buoy fallback when the grid reports usable wave heights.

unavailable · observed

NDBC 44039

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

buoy
Central Long Island Sound · 44039
Distance
35.2 NM from destination
Coordinates
41.1380° N, 72.6550° W

Nearest catalog buoy, 35.2 NM from the selected location. Observed wind and wave reports when this station reports seas.

NDBC: 404 Not Found

unavailable · prediction

CO-OPS 8461490

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

tide station
New London · 8461490
Distance
9.1 NM from destination
Coordinates
41.3550° N, 72.0870° W

Nearest catalog tide station, 9.1 NM from the selected location. Tide predictions and high/low events in feet relative to MLLW for the available forecast days.

CO-OPS today: 403 Forbidden

AviationWeather KWST

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

aviation station
Westerly State · KWST
Distance
5.8 NM from destination
Coordinates
41.3500° N, 71.8000° W

Nearest aviation candidates: KWST 5.8 NM, KGON 7 NM, KMTP 13.2 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.
