The Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) measures, analyzes, archives and disseminates coastal environment data for use by coastal engineers, planners and managers, as well as scientists and mariners. The Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) is an extensive network for monitoring waves and beaches along the coastlines of the United States. Since its inception in 1975, the program has produced a vast database of publicly-accessible environmental data for use by coastal engineers and planners, scientists, mariners, and marine enthusiasts. The program has also remained at the forefront of coastal monitoring, developing numerous innovations in instrumentation, system control and management, computer hardware and software, field equipment, and installation techniques.

Check this site for a rip current overview, safety tips, forecasts, photos, headliness, survivor stories, multimedia, links, and a glossary. Rip currents are powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away from shore. They typically extend from the shoreline, through the surf zone, and past the line of breaking waves. Rip currents can occur at any beach with breaking waves, including the Great Lakes.

Global Wind and Wave Model Output. The operational ocean wave predictions of NOAA/NWS/NCEP use the wave model WAVEWATCH III using operational NCEP products as input.

Since its formation in 1977, the company had been fully engaged with support divided between the private and public sector. In the public sector the company continues to perform basic and applied research in marine meteorology and ocean response numerical modeling, supported by both US and foreign government agencies.

Wind Observation Map. The forecast data displayed by WindMapper is from a high quality numerical weather prediction model run by the United States government (GFS) and is updated every six hours. The output from this model gives forecast data in the form of a grid of points at 1/4 degree (~27km) intervals. WindMapper interpolates this information to give a forecast for each location. You should be aware that at this resolution the forecast will not be able to fully model topographical effects. This means that in coastal areas localised effects such as sea breezes will not be fully incorporated into the prediction, wind speeds in elevated areas will not fully account for peaks and valleys and that temperatures for smaller islands can be overly influenced by the surrounding sea. Also beware that the forecast gives average wind speed but you may well experience significantly higher gust speeds.

Windy, wind map & forecast. Windy is based on open source project Earth of Cameron Becario. Our goal is to provide the best weather forecasting service in the world.
