LuckGrib vs PredictCurrent Usage & Stats

LuckGrib is a fully featured, easy to use, fast GRIB reader, viewer, downloader and weather router. Remote access to weather data via satellite or email is supported. Advanced weather routing capabilities, for sailors, is available. Weather forecast data, packaged as GRIB files, can be downloaded directly from the LuckGrib server cluster. For offshore sailors, LuckGrib offers a best-in-class, complete solution: industry leading visualization and ease of use, highly optimized weather data downloads via satellite, along with industry leading optimized weather routing and route analysis. Inshore sailors may not require satellite downloads, but will benefit from the rest of the system. LuckGrib is unique among apps that were originally designed for sailors, in that the weather analysis tools are powerful enough to attract attention from meteorologitsts. For meteorologists, and weather enthusiasts, LuckGrib offers access to a wide range of high resolutions models, a number of global models, weather data at the surface, 850mb, 500mb and 250mb levels, parameters ranging from simple things such as wind, pressure and temperature, to more advanced quantities such as simulated radar, standard deviations, precipitable water, lightning, vertical vorticity, helicity and more. Access is available to the entire suite of parameters in GFS, HRRR, NAM and others. Downloads are available via: a direct high speed internet connection, through the Iridium GO! as well as through the RedPort Optimizer. LuckGrib provides access to many weather and ocean models, including: GFS, GFS Wave, GDPS/GEM, GEFS, HRRR, RAP, NAM, NBM, Icon-EU, Arpège, Arome, OpenWRF, RTOFS, NCOM and many others. These models allow you to study surface conditions, wave and swell state, ocean currents, winds at the jet stream level, mid atmosphere as well as at the boundary layer. In addition, LuckGrib allows you to explore weather model uncertainty with its support for standard deviation and probability values. LuckGrib is a thoroughly modern and advanced GRIB viewer. See: luckgrib.com/models for more details on the models and parameters that are available. LuckGrib comes with a 14 day free trial. If you are interested in studying weather and gaining access to detailed weather forecasts, download the app and give it a try. Downloading data via satellite or email requires the Offshore Data in-app purchase. See offshore.luckgrib.com for more details on the remote access capabilities. The LuckGrib weather routing system is an industry leading, high quality, robust, high performance and comprehensive system. See routing.luckgrib.com for more details. Access to the isochronal weather routing system requires an in-app purchase. The LuckGrib isochronal Weather Routing solver is able to respect intermediate constraint points, the first in the industry. A constraint point is a point which a route must leave to port or starboard. Constraint points are needed to describe short routes which have crossings, as well as to express your preference on a long open ocean passage to stay to a given side of a strategic point. A simple example of a short route that needs this ability is a route which goes around an island, returning to the start point. Many sailboat race routes, perhaps the majority, have routes which cross. Two examples are Fastnet and the Around Catalina Island race. These routes can now be described in LuckGrib, and optimized Weather Routing solutions found for them. Note that LuckGrib does not use a subscription pricing model - after the free trial, when you decide to purchase the app, there will be a one time charge, not an ongoing subscription.

PredictCurrent

Get the highest definition tidal current data available in the world, covering 90% of the world's coastlines along with full global ocean current maps. Highly accurate Tidal Currents maps in your local area. Using advanced 3D computer modelling, our team of oceanographers have created tidal current maps with unparalleled accuracy and definition. The unique Dashboard view quickly shows wind against tide, using the highly accurate ECMWF wind forecasts along with the unique high resolution tidal currents which has the speed and direction of the tide at any time in the next 10 days. The Dashboard also shows wave height and direction. You can also see the tide height and tide cycle for the coming week. The map view of the tidal currents animates and displays detail of the water movement around the coastlines and islands like you have never seen before. The tide maps can be seen in different resolutions, with the most detail of tides seen in the 100m resolution for areas with strong tidal currents. The 400m and 4km cover nearly all of the world's coastlines, which are blended with ocean currents for full global coverage. In the map view you can also access detailed wind maps, wave maps which are animated showing the next 10 days of forecast data. You can also check the sea temp with the SST map. The tables view gives you access to a full range of tide and weather data that can easily be compared on an hour by hour steps. For every hour in the 10 day forecast you can see wind against tide warnings for the specific location you have set. The tide direction and strength is shown in hourly increments. The tide height, for high and low tide throughout the forecast is also displayed with the solunar shown right next to tide heights.
