Boating departure planner
Give the departure window a tide, wind, and daylight check.
Perigee assembles the coastal inputs that can change a recreational departure: wind, gusts, the next tide, daylight, and observed water level when a nearby station reports it.
The read points to the lightest available wind window and separates a watch signal from an unavailable source.
Start with the decision
The questions worth answering before the plan hardens.
- Question 01
Is there a lighter-wind departure window within the time I can leave?
- Question 02
What tide and observed water context will I have around launch or return?
- Question 03
Are gusts, missing daylight, or missing tide data reasons to pause and verify elsewhere?
What Perigee combines
One window, with the inputs kept separate.
A single score can hide the reason a plan changed. The activity read keeps each coastal input visible and marks unavailable data instead of silently treating it as favorable.
- 01Wind + gusts
- Forecast speed, gusts, and direction around the requested departure.
- 02Next tide
- The nearest predicted high or low and its height when available.
- 03Daylight
- Station-local sunrise and sunset around the planning window.
- 04Observed water
- The latest nearby water-level reading when the station supports it.
What comes back
A result you can inspect, not a verdict.
Perigee is a planning aid. It explains the window and the state of its inputs so you can make the next check with better context.
- 01
A departure-oriented window anchored to the lightest wind or next tide check.
- 02
Visible cautions for stronger gusts and required inputs that are not available.
- 03
Source links and freshness so the result can lead into an official forecast review.
Field note
Perigee does not assess vessel, route, depth, clearance, current, traffic, seamanship, or navigation hazards. Use official charts, forecasts, notices, and onboard equipment.
