It is vital to consider weather and wind forecasts in order to be well-prepared for potential sea states before heading out on the water.

Alan Campbell will show how he routinely considers tides and currents, and uses a number of wind forecasting apps and websites while planning paddles, including

Environment Canada, PredictWind, WindAlert, WindFinder, Windy, BigWaveDave and SpotWx.

Alan will also discuss how ocean currents interact with wind and swell to create the sea states we encounter on our paddles.
