Cross the Gulf Stream with favorable southerly breeze to avoid hazards and steep seas, and prioritize meticulous weather routing over Bermuda Triangle superstition.
Optimized for marine passage planning, vessel routing, and coastal or offshore weather tracking. This automated marine weather routing tool updates daily using premium data models. Below is the weather, wave, and ocean current layout for a standard vessel transit from Beaufort Inlet, NC to St. Martin.
Expect significant time on the nose, expect a more demanding trip. Winds range from 3 to 25 kts with waves 3.1 to 15.8 ft with period of 6 to 11 seconds. Overall, seas and wind frequently opposed, expect confused motion. Caution: peak winds reach 25 kts — conditions may be demanding regardless of point of sail. Wind angles: 24% following, 43% reaching, 33% on the nose. Sea state: 29% aligned, 35% cross-seas, 35% opposed.
