Real-time wind, swell, current and forecast maps for our home waters and the world’s premier cruising grounds — powered by Windy and the ECMWF model.
Weather you can plan a passage on
Whether you’re planning a Whitsundays cruise, a Sydney-to-Hobart campaign or a transatlantic delivery, the Leigh-Smith Yachts team uses live marine data to advise on timing, routing and berth holds. Explore the live maps below — drag, zoom and switch overlays just as you would in the Windy app.
