Routing that knows the coast
The fastest route for your boat, computed from your polar, hour-by-hour wind and currents. It steers around islands, shoals (EMODnet bathymetry), charted rocks and wrecks, according to your draft.

Features
Everything you need to decide whether to go, and which way.
Seven models, one confidence index
ECMWF, GFS, ICON, Met Office, Météo-France, ECMWF’s AI model and GEM, compared on every chart. When they disagree, you see it.
The right departure window
Compare up to six departure times on the same course: the fastest, the most comfortable, with the wind you will meet.
Animated maps
Wind, gusts, waves, currents, rain, clouds and pressure, with a time slider to watch the weather unfold.
Navionics and chartplotters
Send the route as GPX to Navionics Boating or your chartplotter; import a route to time it.
Briefing, alerts, validation
A written briefing every day, alerts on your own thresholds, and a ranking of the most reliable models where you sail.

FAQ
Good to know
Where do the forecasts come from?
From the major forecasting centers: ECMWF (Europe), NOAA (United States), DWD (Germany), Met Office (United Kingdom), Météo-France and ECCC (Canada), through Open-Meteo, plus waves and currents from Copernicus. Near the coast, high-resolution regional models (AROME, ICON-D2, UKV) are used where they cover the area.
Does routing replace official forecasts?
No. Noroît is a decision aid: forecasts remain forecasts, and the bathymetry knows neither today’s tide nor every rock. Check official forecasts and nautical charts; the skipper decides.
Do I need to install anything?
No: Noroît runs in the browser, on computers, tablets and phones. Your boats and settings follow you from one device to another.
Does it work with Navionics?
Yes, through GPX files: send a computed route to Navionics Boating or your chartplotter, or import a route drawn in Navionics to compute its timings and weather.
How do I cancel?
In one click from “My account”. Your plan stays active until the end of the paid period.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes, with no credit card and no time limit: forecasts from three models over seven days, and two coastal routings a day.
Which units does Noroît use?
Wind in knots and distances in nautical miles. Depths and waves in feet or meters, pressure in inHg or hPa: your choice in the app settings.
