Models That Respect Geography

Marine data routed dynamically from Copernicus to the sharpest model for where you float — from 500m in straits to global ocean grids.

AUTOMATIC REGIONAL ROUTING
500 mMARMARA & STRAITS

Sea of Marmara Ultra-Fine Grid

Calculates intricate strait dynamics, Bosporus/Dardanelles surface and counter-currents, and micro-climate thermal wind shifts across enclosed bays.

2.5 kmBLACK SEA BASIN

Black Sea Hydrodynamic Model

Specialized for steep, short-period chop characteristic of the Black Sea basin. Tracks cyclonic rim currents and sudden cold-front squall developments.

Mediterranean & Aegean Model

Routes around rugged island topography. Models Meltemi funneling through the Cyclades and Dodecanese, afternoon thermal breezes, and katabatic headland gusts.

How MARLOG Forecast Works

Precision oceanic modeling combined with intuitive timeline indicators designed for active passage planning.

01UNIFIED TELEMETRY

Reading the water on one screen

Zero clutter: air, sea, wind, gusts, swell, and barometric pressure.

Combines air and sea temperature, wind speed and max gusts, swell height and period, a wind rose, 3-hour interval tables, sun times, humidity, visibility, precipitation probability, and UV index.

Air & sea temp · Wind rose · Swell period · Barometric pressure
02SAILING WINDOWS

Colour-coded sailing windows

Instantly identify the hours worth leaving harbour for.

Scores each of the next twelve hours of wind against coastal sailing thresholds. Green highlights optimal sailing hours; amber flags moderate conditions; red warns of adverse sea states.

Hour-by-hour timeline · Threshold filters · Departure planning
03ROUGH-SEA ALERTS

Autonomous 3-hour sea alerts

Set a home port and MARLOG monitors conditions around the clock.

MARLOG checks your vessel’s home harbour every three hours against Copernicus and MET Norway feeds, notifying you when swell or gale-force gusts turn rough.

3-hour background polling · MET Norway checks · Push notifications
INTERACTIVE SAILING WINDOW ENGINE

Know When to Cast Off

Test live coastal locations and scrub through the hour-by-hour timeline to see wave heights, gust ratios, and departure suitability ratings.

Questions about MARLOG Forecast

Everything you need to know about Copernicus 500m models, Apple Weather integration, sailing windows, and sea alerts.

Atmospheric forecasts (air temperature, precipitation, UV, visibility, cloud cover) are provided by Apple Weather. Oceanic hydrodynamics (waves, swell height, wave period, sea surface temperature, currents) come directly from the EU Copernicus Marine Service, with sea-state safety thresholds checked against MET Norway feeds.
