Why GoNoGo WX Boating

Before a day on the water, most boaters check a marine forecast, a buoy, a tide table, radar and a wind model, then try to square them in their heads. The sources disagree, and none of them is built around their personal limits and vessel.

GoNoGo WX Boating does that work for you, gathering the conditions, reconciling them, and measuring them against your vessel and the limits you set, so you get one briefing with what you need to know.

Built by boaters who got tired of conflicting, fragmented information from a variety of apps, and of spending hours trying to build a briefing by hand.

Example Briefing · Vista

NO-GO

NO-GO from 2 pm for Vista. GO until about 12 pm, then CAUTION.

Key factors

Wind 15 kt, past Vista's GO line (12 kt), with the Small Craft Advisory; together they make it NO-GO

Scored against Vista's limits:

Vista · 21 ft · CAUTION above 12 kt or 2 ft seas, NO-GO above 18 kt or 3.5 ft seas

The same morning can be GO for one boat and captain, and NO-GO for another. This is Vista’s day, on the limits set for her. Yours is read on yours.
