Marine weather and sailboat routing, simple and clear, for every tack. SailMeteo brings marine weather and sailboat routing together in a fast, readable app built for people who actually go to sea. Wind, gusts, waves, currents: see it all on an interactive map, compare models and plan your passages — even offline, once you're out at sea. === FEATURES === - MARINE WEATHER ON A MAP Wind, gusts, waves, currents, pressure, temperature, cloud cover, precipitation and CAPE, shown on an interactive map with clear wind barbs and readable color rendering. - MULTIPLE MODELS Compare several weather models (GFS, AROME and more) to sharpen your decision. High-resolution models better capture coastal effects such as thermal breezes. - TIME ANIMATION Scrub through forecast steps with a single gesture and loop the forecast to anticipate how the weather evolves hour by hour. - SAILBOAT ROUTING Enter your boat details (polars, motor speed) and let SailMeteo compute a route that accounts for the forecast wind. Perfect for planning a crossing or a day sail. - OFFLINE AT SEA Download an area before you cast off and keep access to the forecast even with no signal once you're offshore. Ideal for areas with no mobile coverage. - BOAT PROFILE Save your sailboat's details and polars, backed up in the cloud, for routing tuned to your own pace. - MARINE WEATHER GUIDES Clear guides to understand the models, read a wind chart, grasp the sea state and thermal breezes, and prepare your crossings. - PERSONALIZATION Choose your units (knots, km/h, Beaufort, meters, feet…), night mode to protect your night vision, local time or UTC, and looping playback of forecast steps. - ACCOUNT AND SYNC Create an account (email, Apple or Google) to find your settings, areas and favorite routes across all your devices and on the web (sailmeteo.fr). Sync is instant. === SAFETY AT SEA === Forecasts and routing are provided for guidance only and do not replace official marine weather bulletins or your own judgment as a sailor. You remain solely responsible for the preparation and safety of your navigation. === YOUR DATA, RESPECTED === - GDPR compliant - Data synced securely - No resale to third parties - Full account deletion in one tap, right inside the app === FREE === SailMeteo is free, supported by discreet advertising. A consent dialog lets you choose your ad preferences at any time. === FAIR WINDS === Because every trip deserves solid weather planning.

An anchorage tucked under the windward shore stays flat where its neighbour, open to the sea, becomes untenable. • The score is explained, never just asserted: wind speed and direction, the stretch of open water upwind (the fetch) and the chop it raises, how much of the offshore swell actually reaches the point, and the resulting sea. • A curve shows how it evolves across the whole forecast: drag along it to move through the hours and find the night that holds. • GPX export of the route you are following, straight from the Navigation menu. • New "Boat on the route" target: the readings at the top of the screen follow the boat along the route as time advances, instead of a fixed point on screen. • Routing models (wind, waves, current) are now remembered. • Fixes: areas and settings sometimes missing at launch when the network was slow to answer, routing map framed on the whole trip, "Swap" button, and a more readable computation animation. Fair winds! ### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-22 Routing now looks for the fastest route instead of the straight line: • Isochrone routing: the app explores the possible headings hour by hour and keeps the fastest, using your boat's polar. The computation is shown live on the map. • Two separate screens: "When to leave?" compares time slots over the coming days, "Route this departure" optimises the route for a date and time you choose. • Far more reliable land avoidance: coastlines, islands and headlands are analysed before the computation. • Minimum distance from the coast, from 0 to 20 nautical miles, applied to the crossing but not to harbour entry and exit. • Wind, wave and current models picked separately — and remembered. • GPX import and export: pick up a route from Navionics Boating, qtVlm or OpenCPN, or send yours out. An imported route can be saved to your trips. • Reworked Navigation menu: pick a saved trip and see it on the map right away, with an arrow showing the direction of travel. • A form to report a bug or suggest an idea (the "…" menu). • Fixed visibility and wave height, free cursor usable while scrubbing time, and various display fixes. Fair winds! ### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-17 Routing gets finer and more comfortable: • Two models for the analysis: a wind model (GFS, Arome…) and, optionally, a waves & current model (MFWAM…) taken into account in the computation. • New criteria, each one toggleable: swell, wind sea, adverse current, rain and thunderstorm risk (CAPE), on top of wind, gusts, waves and visibility. Your settings are saved to your profile. • Departure suggestions across every forecast day, identical time slots grouped, and the exact hour selectable. • The "earliest departure" time is picked in one tap (time chips). • The selected departure's actions stay visible while scrolling, and the "Why this departure?" details show at a glance. • Display fixes (including the landscape corners). Fair winds! ### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-15 Routing is now clearer and quicker to use: • The route is drawn on the map automatically as soon as you set the departure and arrival (routing around land), even before you analyse it. • Analysed departures are sorted by date and time, soonest first, and the best window is highlighted. • The analysis horizon now matches the chosen weather model's forecast (e.g. Arome HD = 2 days instead of 7). • New favourites manager: tap to load a route, swipe to rename or delete it. • Search bar: the keyboard is now easy to dismiss. • Maximum wave height can be set as low as 0.1 m, plus a few routing layout tweaks. Fair winds! ### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-04 Stay signed in, and spot the controls at a glance: • No more repeated sign-ins: your session now stays active from one launch to the next — even after several hours or offline at sea. Only signing out on purpose logs you out now. • The top-bar icons (compare, navigation, areas) now use the blue accent colour, matching the options menu (red in Night mode). • Stability fixes.
