Many of you may have noticed a new mast on the top of our club. This was installed free of charge to us by a company
Predict Wind NZ along with two other similar weather instruments, one in Wellington and one in Plimmerton. These all link in with other weather forecast websites around the world for inshore boaties and in fact an offshore version for offshore mariners.
Predictwind is the App you can download. I know you have many others, but have a look at the website as stated in the heading.
If you download the app it brings up the Map of NZ. With your fingers, you can squeeze down the country size to be more specific with Kapiti.
At our Boat club location is a small green dot, if you touch on that it will reveal the present weather conditions out from our boat club. You can also touch on the area you may be travelling to, ie Fisherman’s rock, and it will give you the sea and weather conditions there.
The map is color-coded for wind strength and direction. Along the bottom is a slider you can move on to the hour of the day as well as coming days, and it will predict weather conditions.
The website is quite comprehensive with its information. The professional version, if you are heading offshore will track you through GPS and send you weather forecasts every hour. (at a cost of course)
Well worth downloading
