Marine Forecasts

[SeaWolf]

They changed the format of the Marine Forecasts today. Now available is a 5 day outlook, and if you look at the Navtex there is now time break downs for wind and timing. A little more information is always a good thing.

From the Navtex

STRAIT OF GEORGIA -S NANAIMO:
WNG: NIL.
WND: SE10-20. 27/05Z NW10-15. 27/13Z LGT. 27/22Z NW10-15.

I would read this as follows. From the issue time until the 27th at 0500 Zulu winds SE10-20. Then from the 27th at 0500 Zulu until the 27th at 1300 Zulu winds NW 10-15 knots. And so forth.

Much better than the old style IMO.

Am I missing it or did they drop the link to the tide tables on the marine weather site.

Doesn't matter to me, I always use this one:

They did drop the link to the tides, but the website listed above (by El Pescador) goes to the same tide charts.
