About this app

The Offshore App allows you to seamlessly download multiple GRIB files for your coastal and offshore passages.

Quickly download and view GRIB files, weather routes, GMDSS maps and text forecasts, AIS data and satellite imagery.

Access all the world’s top ranking forecast models for reliable and accurate weather data, including ECMWF, SPIRE, UKMO, GFS and more. Our very own PWG & PWE models offer incredible accuracy and a record-breaking 1km resolution.

In addition to forecasts, the Offshore App also provides a suite of powerful marine tools to save you time and keep you safe at sea.

Weather Routing and Departure Planning is calculated in the PredictWind cloud at the highest resolution. The finished route is then sent back to your boat in an incredibly small file size, which is ideal for low bandwidth satellite and SSB connections.

The Offshore App works with Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and most satellite connections using an Iridium GO! exec, Iridium GO!, Globalstar or Optimizer device.

I like the app in that the files are small and can be downloaded with intermittent cell signal as we are traveling along the Southeast US coast. The usage is not always intuitive so I practice everyday so I do not forget how to look at different areas and adjust parameters. However, this is a valuable tool and I highly recommend it.

App is packed with a lot of usefull things. Too bad they don t work for me. Most of the prediction files do not download, saying that my user and password are incorrect. The ones that get downloaded are not displayed on the map. The map zooms out to world view everytime i go to some menu. Used help. Doesn t seem i do sonething wrong or got the settings wrong. But problems still persist

I have used the Professional version of PW's software for the last two years and have found the weather routing and departure planning algorithms to be quite helpful when taking ocean currents into account (especially in the eastern Pacific). The underlying wind models are generally very helpful offshore. GRIB files are easy to download and use through IridiumGO email. I have also taken advantage of the tracking page and have received exceptional customer service when needed.
