How to use this site

Welcome to our site, designed to make your weather report on the Sonrisa Net a breeze. We gather point or spot forecasts from various weather models, summarize the data, and present it in a convenient table that's easy to digest and deliver on the air.

To get started, check out our interactive map to see where the available spot forecasts are located. Click on the map pins for a pop-up forecast for that spot.

Use the “Spots” link to select a specific spot and view its forecast. The line graph icon will show you a 2-day hourly wind forecast for that location. If you have a faster internet connection, each spot has a handy link to open windy.com centered on the spot in a new tab for a visual or more detailed view.

Need to plan a passage? Use the “Regions” link to select all the spots in a region, or the “Everything” link to get the forecast for all spots at once. And don’t forget to check out our “Using Saildocs” page under the “Resources” tab for information on obtaining forecasts on slow connections such as Winlink or Sailmail.

But that’s not all – we also provide a table view of the NOAA OFFPZ7 and part of the s/v Sarana report, along with direct links to those pages. Plus, we have links to hurricane and chubasco forecasts, and information on getting a HAM radio license. And if you have some free time, be sure to listen to Geary’s poems!
