Know which channel to tune in on for up to date weather forecast
If you’re planning a fishing trip, it pays to know the weather condition so you don’t have any accidents.
There are different ways that you can check the latest weather forecast. You can either do a simple check with any marine weather forecast or check with harbourmasters as they are likely to be knowledgeable about local weather changes or updates.
Another neat way of checking weather forecast is using your VHF Radio. Coastguard NowCasting is a service that is provided for boaties free of charge. With this service, you can have up to date information regarding any weather changes when you are out on the water. Weather forecasts along with wind data and tides are being broadcasted continuously to VHF channels.
