Description

LuckGrib is a fully featured, easy to use, fast GRIB reader, viewer, downloader and weather router. Remote access to weather data via satellite or email is supported. Advanced weather routing capabilities, for sailors, is available.

Weather forecast data, packaged as GRIB files, can be downloaded directly from the LuckGrib server cluster.

For offshore sailors, LuckGrib offers a best-in-class, complete solution: industry leading visualization and ease of use, highly optimized weather data downloads via satellite, along with industry leading optimized weather routing and route analysis. Inshore sailors may not require satellite downloads, but will benefit from the rest of the system.

LuckGrib is unique among apps that were originally designed for sailors, in that the weather analysis tools are powerful enough to attract attention from meteorologitsts.

For meteorologists, and weather enthusiasts, LuckGrib offers access to a wide range of high resolutions models, a number of global models, weather data at the surface, 850mb, 500mb and 250mb levels, parameters ranging from simple things such as wind, pressure and temperature, to more advanced quantities such as simulated radar, standard deviations, precipitable water, lightning, vertical vorticity, helicity and more. Access is available to the entire suite of parameters in GFS, HRRR, NAM and others.

Downloads are available via: a direct high speed internet connection, through the Iridium GO! as well as through the RedPort Optimizer.

LuckGrib provides access to many weather and ocean models, including: GFS, GFS Wave, GDPS/GEM, GEFS, HRRR, RAP, NAM, NBM, Icon-EU, Arpège, Arome, OpenWRF, RTOFS, NCOM and many others. These models allow you to study surface conditions, wave and swell state, ocean currents, winds at the jet stream level, mid atmosphere as well as at the boundary layer. In addition, LuckGrib allows you to explore weather model uncertainty with its support for standard deviation and probability values. LuckGrib is a thoroughly modern and advanced GRIB viewer.

See: luckgrib.com/models for more details on the models and parameters that are available.

LuckGrib comes with a 14 day free trial. If you are interested in studying weather and gaining access to detailed weather forecasts, download the app and give it a try.

Downloading data via satellite or email requires the Offshore Data in-app purchase. See offshore.luckgrib.com for more details on the remote access capabilities.

The LuckGrib weather routing system is an industry leading, high quality, robust, high performance and comprehensive system. See routing.luckgrib.com for more details. Access to the isochronal weather routing system requires an in-app purchase.

The LuckGrib isochronal Weather Routing solver is able to respect intermediate constraint points, the first in the industry. A constraint point is a point which a route must leave to port or starboard. Constraint points are needed to describe short routes which have crossings, as well as to express your preference on a long open ocean passage to stay to a given side of a strategic point. A simple example of a short route that needs this ability is a route which goes around an island, returning to the start point. Many sailboat race routes, perhaps the majority, have routes which cross. Two examples are Fastnet and the Around Catalina Island race. These routes can now be described in LuckGrib, and optimized Weather Routing solutions found for them.

Note that LuckGrib does not use a subscription pricing model - after the free trial, when you decide to purchase the app, there will be a one time charge, not an ongoing subscription.

Fantastic, Professional

Extremely well put together sourcing the publically available grib2 files for display. Perfectly made for the iOS environment. 6 out of 5 stars.

Amazing!

Most amazing, intuitive and complete forecast software. The weather routing tool is incredible! Thank you a lot to the developer who made this

Brilliant

Tugboat skipper between Vancouver BC, Westcoast Vancouver Island upto Alaska. This is my primary tool for planning routes. Beats PredictWind by miles and much cheaper. Support is rapid, inteligent and friendly. The developer is a genious. Thank You!

Powerful, fast, intuitive, beautifully designed

After thirty-six years of testing and using software and apps, it is a pleasure when you find one the exceeds your expectation. LuckGrib maximizes the power of a quad core system delivering fast screen animation and beautiful crisp graphics. Download and follow the two intro videos on YouTube and you will move quickly from intuitive interface to power user. With a choice of 70+ global and regional grib sources and the ability to over lay 500mb and surface pressure charts you can best visualize the possible weather developments.

Great piece of software

Beautiful graphics, intuitive, large range of models all at your fingertips. A large leap forward for GRIB viewers.

Amazing tool and well worth the money

I am a meteorology student, and I came across this application and oh my gosh it is probably one of the best apps I have ever used. Very clean GUI, very responsive, and the fact that you can download the actual GRIB file to then use in some python code or MATLAB code is great. There have been lots of app that I regretted purchasing but this is not one of them, also considering that I use my iPad for all of my school work this becomes a must have for me. I do know someone with the OSX version and I find that the iPad version is just as good (if not better because it then becomes a portable tool) but the fact that I can also have this on my iPhone is the cherry on top of the cake. I very much appreciate this product and I think it is well worth the money ($35 CAD) I would say to the developer though that I while I do think it is worth the money, please do not go towards a subscription based purchase as I feel you will lose some customers, but rather have a notification pop up once a month or so and say “If you like this product maybe consider donating” there is a few programs that I use that do this and I always donate every time (and probably more then what a monthly subscription would be).

Best Grib viewer

I’ve tried the others in the store and this is by far the most well designed for visualizing what’s happening. Route meteograms are the only thing missing but there seem to be constant developments. Thank you
