Introduction

Since 1983 Oceanweather has applied its hindcasting models and analysis techniques towards the operational forecasting of ocean winds and waves. We are the only forecast center (public or private) in the world to run operational global and regional wave models that were developed completely in-house. Our forecast philosophy is to use man-interactive techniques and analysis tools to produce a better marine forecast than is possible using pure model forecast data. Our team of marine meteorologists, all with over a decade of experience, are dedicated to producing the best wind and wave forecasts.

Most of the products and services described here are intended for oceangoing vessels and/or offshore operations. Casual marine weather users and surfers are encouraged to check out Oceanweather's Current Marine Data page for free hourly-updated marine data.
