HYDRODYNAMIC RESOLUTION

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

Resolves the strait dynamics MARLOG needs for the Marmara: Bosphorus and Dardanelles surface currents and counter-currents, and sea temperature across the enclosed bays.

500m grid cell · 1-hour time step · Surface velocity & sea temperature
📍 Princes Islands → Çanakkale Strait
2.5 kmBLACK SEA BASIN

Black Sea Hydrodynamic Model

Resolves the steep, short-period chop characteristic of the Black Sea basin, plus the cyclonic rim currents that run around it.

2.5km grid cell · Wave height, period & direction · Sea temperature
📍 Şile → Sinop → Batumi Coast
4.2 kmMEDITERRANEAN & AEGEAN

Mediterranean & Aegean Model

Resolves the swell that rugged island topography makes of the Meltemi through the Cyclades and Dodecanese, at 4.2 km across the whole basin.

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

A 12-hour wind outlook

Read the wind trend on Home, then check the full forecast.

The Home sailing window shows up to 12 hourly wind readings. Taller bars mean stronger wind. Lime marks the current hour; later hours at 18 knots or above use amber, and the other hours are muted. The chart does not score waves or decide when it is safe to depart.

How to read a sailing window
✓ Hourly wind · Current-hour marker · Strong-wind highlights
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
ILLUSTRATIVE FORECAST

Explore a forecast example

Explore invented wind and sea readings at two-hour intervals. The Home wind chart uses hourly bars; this example shows how separate forecast measurements can be compared. It is not live weather or a departure recommendation.

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.
