Everything you need to know about SeaLegs AI and how it helps you make safer decisions on the water.
About SeaLegs AI
What is SeaLegs AI?
SeaLegs AI is a marine weather app for iPhone and Android that uses artificial intelligence to analyze professional weather models and give you clear GO, CAUTION, or AVOID recommendations for your boating, fishing, or sailing trips. Instead of interpreting complex weather charts yourself, SeaLegs AI provides a plain-English summary of expected conditions for your exact route.
How does the GO/CAUTION/AVOID system work?
SeaLegs AI analyzes wind speed, wave height, visibility, precipitation, and other marine conditions for your specific route and timeframe. Based on this analysis, it gives you a simple recommendation: GO means conditions look good, CAUTION means conditions are changing and you should monitor closely, and AVOID means conditions are unsafe for your planned trip.
What weather data sources does SeaLegs AI use?
SeaLegs AI analyzes data from professional weather models including GFS (Global Forecast System) and ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). Our AI cross-references multiple models to provide the most accurate marine forecast for your location.
Does SeaLegs AI work everywhere in the world?
Yes. SeaLegs AI provides worldwide coverage for any location on Earth. Whether you're planning a coastal day trip in Florida, offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, or a sailing passage across the Caribbean, you can drop a pin anywhere on the map and get accurate marine forecasts.
Weather & Forecasts
What marine weather conditions does SeaLegs AI forecast?
SeaLegs AI provides forecasts for wind speed and direction, wave height and period, visibility, precipitation, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and UV index. All data is presented in a clear format with hourly breakdowns. Check our weather glossary for definitions of each term.
How far in advance can I plan a trip?
SeaLegs AI provides marine weather forecasts up to 7 days in advance with hourly detail. For the most accurate conditions, we recommend checking 24–48 hours before your trip, and again the morning of departure.
How accurate are the AI marine forecasts?
SeaLegs AI draws from the same professional weather models used by NOAA and meteorologists worldwide. Our AI analyzes and cross-references these sources to give you the most reliable forecast possible. Marine weather is inherently variable, so we always recommend rechecking conditions close to departure.
Can I get weather alerts for my planned trips?
Yes. SeaLegs AI sends real-time push notifications when conditions change for your planned trips. You'll receive alerts about weather updates, condition changes, and trip reminders so you can make safe decisions about your plans.
Using the App
Does SeaLegs AI work for all types of boats?
Yes. SeaLegs AI works for all recreational watercraft including center consoles, cabin cruisers, pontoons, sailboats, kayaks, jet skis, and personal watercraft. You set your departure point and destination, and the app provides conditions for your specific trip.
Can I use SeaLegs AI for fishing trips?
Absolutely. SeaLegs AI is built for both inshore and offshore fishing. The app analyzes wind, waves, and barometric pressure trends that affect fish behavior, helping you pick the best days to fish. Learn more on our fishing weather app page.
Does SeaLegs AI provide wind data for sailing?
Yes. SeaLegs AI provides detailed wind speed, gust forecasts, and wind direction data that sailors need for planning. Whether you're racing or cruising, the app gives you the wind intelligence to plan your sail. See our sailing weather app page for details.
Can I share my trip forecast with my crew?
