Question 4

How do I download a GRIB file ?

Henri · Accepted Answer

To illustrate the process, let’s say we’re planning a 4-day passage from La Rochelle (France) to Cowes (UK).

Pan and zoom to your sailing area. Unless you’re doing an ocean crossing, pick a selection slightly larger than your route.
Press the + button.
Tap Download GRIB.
If needed, adjust the selection using the four green corners.
Press OK.

A Download GRIB window opens. The choices are filtered to your selected region.
Without the Premium option, you’re limited to the GFS model (the U.S. NOAA global atmospheric model).

Choose the Type of data to download:
- Atmospheric
- Current
- Sea State
Choose the Coverage:
- Global
- Regional — for trips up to ~5 days, a regional model is usually best.
If applicable, select the Region.
Select the Model.
See our FAQs for guidance on models.
If unsure, choose the atmospheric global ECMWF IFS or GFS.
If needed, check the Model description & coverage map.
Select the Days and Timestep.
If unsure, keep the defaults.
Choose the Parameters (Wind, Pressure, etc.).
If unsure, keep the defaults.

The estimated compressed GRIB size appears at the bottom. Keep it reasonable—if you see ~200 MB, you probably chose a model that’s too fine or too many parameters.

Below the model description, we show the latest model calculation time (the Run).
Run: 20251016 12Z +102 means: calculated on Oct 16, 2025; initialized at 12:00 UTC (12Z); contains 102 forecast hours from that run.
We also display the estimated time until the next run is available.

Press Download GRIB.
The GRIB file downloads from our fast, redundant servers.
Once downloaded, it is:
- displayed on the map. If you don’t see it, open Layers and enable Color map and Barbs.
- added to the GRIB list in the left panel. Tap the ☰ at top-left to open the lists panel.
