What Drives the Day on the Water
Wind (sustained and gusts) is the single biggest driver of a rough, wet ride and of a Small Craft Advisory. Seas (wave height plus period: a short, steep 4 ft chop beats you up worse than a long 4 ft swell). Fog (losing the shoreline and other traffic is a real hazard under way). Lightning (thunderstorms on an open boat are a reason to stay in). These are read live from official marine forecasts, nearby buoys, and modeled swell, and refresh through the day.
