The Weather Company: tagline goes here

Our forecasts keep you safe while giving you an edge

The Weather Company specialises in providing weather forecasts to the marine and yacht racing industry.  Concerned about the inadequacy and vagueness of official marine forecasts, we offer hourly wind and sea forecasts from the most advanced numerical and statistical models.

The marine environment is one of the most weather-dependant environments around, and any changes have an impact on yacht racing, cruising, shipping, fishing and diving.  Among other things, weather conditions present: new strategies for sailors, new hazards for commercial fishermen and new challenges for recreational fishermen.

As Australian marine experts, we employ innovative technology to deliver a completely individualised and customised service to suit your specific needs.
