Downloads from the server cluster are fast - you can easily explore the weather world wide using some of the best weather models available All data downloads are free. You have immediate access to over 30 weather and ocean models Weather models are available which contain surface conditions, wave and swell state, ocean currents as well as higher altitude information such as that found at the 850mb, 500mb and 250mb levels - these levels correspond to the low cloud level or jet stream, for example. Some of the models available are: GFS, GDPS, CMC, WW3, HRRR, RAP, NAM, NDFD, Icon-EU, OpenWRF, RTOFS Check the support site for additional information regarding model availability. Short videos are also available, as are tutorials and other information "The LuckGrib viewer is elegant, fast, and functional.... a must have app for all sailors using Macs for weather work." —David Burch, Director of Starpath School of Navigation and author of Modern Marine Weather.

Meteograms are a convenient way to see trends in the weather • support for sailors when planning a passage, during departure planning, as well as while on passage, through the points, routes and vessels features • mark points and name them. Measure distances, simulate traveling through weather • support for GRIB versions 1 and 2 allows you to import the widest range of information • import GRIB files from outside sources such as PredictWind, Ocens, Saildocs and many others • access to hundreds of GRIB parameters (wind, rain, pressure, temperature, CAPE, CIN, humidity, wave information, ocean current data, vorticity, simulated radar, and many more) • an internet connection is not required to view downloaded files. LuckGrib acts as a fully functional viewer when away from the internet LuckGrib has a built in GRIB file librarian, allowing you instant access to all of your GRIB files. Switching between GRIB files is very fast, allowing you to compare the results of different models or to watch how a forecast evolves over time
