Hi,

Currently windy does not provide tide prediction in France and other part of the world.

Luckily someone creates an harmonic file for OpenCPN (in french, sorry…):
http://shoreline.fr/OpenCPN_V_33/3_Essentiel/E_61_Les_marees/E_61_Marees.htm#Zone_France

You can download the file here:
http://shoreline.fr/OpenCPN_V_33/3_Essentiel/E_61_Les_marees/Harmonics_V10/Harmonics_V10.zip

It adds prediction on France, but also other countries in Europe, Africa and South America.

Maybe it can help improving the coverage of tide prediction in windy ?

Kind regards,

Adrien

I don't know if the data is reliable enough (I am not a sailor yet…), I am just passing the information ;-)
On the website, they say that “the comparaison with the SHOM are never enormous”…

From what I've see, the prediction are generally less than 10 cm different from the SHOM, the worst I have seen is 40cm different from the SHOM tidetable.

The file is in version 10, so I guess the data are improving with the time.

Anyway, if this source is interesting, maybe the windy team should contact the guy for all the detail (licence, data's updates, etc.)

EDIT: if anyone wants to compare, here are the SHOM tidetable: https://maree.shom.fr/

Hi,

Windy can display the wind with the beaufort scale, which is nice. However, it also display the wind gusts in beaufort, which made no sense : the beaufort scale is only for the mean wind.

To be more correct, the gusts should be display in knots instead, as the official weather service do.

Kind regards,

Adrien

Hi,
This webcam doesn't show up on the map, I have to found it by Google (« webcam Le Croisic » was my search) :

Could you please make it appears ?

Kind regards,
