Your captain's weather briefing, on WhatsApp.

Every morning at your chosen time, Marine Brief sends the forecast that matters for your vessel, where she actually is — wind, gusts, sea state, model confidence and go/no-go passage windows. No apps to open, no charts to decode.

Daily cadence

Morning brief, midday ping only if the day worsens, and an evening tomorrow-call — plus guest calls in charter mode. Forward "owner" anytime for a clean skipper digest.

Passages & itineraries

Ask "passage to Calvi" for one hop, or "itinerary Antibes to Calvi to Bonifacio" for a chained cruise plan with layovers — then save it as "route Corsica".

Alerts, BMS & local Med

Threshold warnings, official Météo-France BMS for your coastal sector vs model avis, plus named winds and awkward-corner notes when the pattern fits.

How it works

Marine Brief pulls live forecasts at your vessel's AIS position, compares them across the world's leading weather models, and delivers a plain-language verdict — no app, no charts to decode.

1

Track your vessel

Your MMSI gives us your boat's live position via AIS. Every brief shows the fix source and age — so you always know if it's live AIS, a pin, or home port.

2

Fetch the forecast

Wind, gusts, seas and rain are pulled from Open-Meteo at your exact coordinates — land and marine layers combined.

3

Compare the models

Seven global wind models and four wave models are run side by side. Where they agree, confidence is high. Where they split, we tell you.

4

Deliver on WhatsApp

Your daily brief arrives at the time you set. Threshold alerts fire every 3 hours when gusts or seas breach your limits.

Weather models we use

Wind & atmosphere — each service blends its global and high-resolution local model automatically:

ECMWF IFS NOAA GFS DWD ICON Météo-France UK Met Office JMA (Japan) GEM (Canada)

Sea state — dedicated wave models for marine conditions:

Météo-France WAVE ECMWF WAM DWD GWAM NOAA GFS-Wave

Model confidence

We don't just show one forecast — we measure how much the models agree. A tight spread means you can trust the numbers. A wide split means plan with caution.

Every brief includes separate wind confidence and sea confidence scores. When confidence is low, we show the range each model predicts.

High
91%
Moderate
72%
Low
48%

Example: "Wind confidence: High (91%) · 7 models" or "Split on gusts: 18–32 kt".
