Superb weather app
Extremely versatile tool for weather analysis and passage planning and routing. It’s not as automatic as PW, but is faster and offers better control of parameters and views. A great value for serious sailors.

For sailors, meteorologists, and all 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. LuckGrib is a thoroughly modern and advanced GRIB viewer.
LuckGrib provides access to many weather and ocean models, including global models such as GFS and ECMWF along with many high resolution models, which vary according to the region you are interested in. In the USA, there is the HRRR, NAM, NBM and many others. In Europe there is Icon-EU, Arpège, Arome, the Danish DINI and others. There are several ocean current models, such as the global RTOFS and Mercator Ocean, along with regional higher resolution models such as OFS, NCOM, CMEMS and others.
The LuckGrib weather routing system is an industry leading, high quality, robust, high performance and comprehensive system.
The LuckGrib isochronal Weather Routing solver has many unique features, such as being able to respect constraints (points that must be left to port or starboard,) deal with routes which require you to heave-to, outstanding visualization and interactivity features, and much more.
LuckGrib comes with a 14 day free trial, or free access to reduced resolution downloads (LuckGrib Lite) for users who do not require access to the most accurate data. 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 requires the Offshore Data in-app purchase. Access to the isochronal weather routing system requires an in-app purchase.
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.

LuckGrib Reviews
BEST weather App EVER!
After 40,000 miles of using “big brand” apps that require a monthly subscription I couldn’t be happier with LuckGrib. PAY ONCE USE FOREVER. The layout and usability is very easy once you spend a few minutes with the included tutorials and from there it just gets better and better!
Absolutely splendid
A very complex complete app. It gives the used a easy to understand view for routing for a offshore voyage. I have used the routing feature on some local 1-2 day trips and find it to be quite accurate and easy to follow. Pretty steep learning curve (very complex subject) but excellent YouTube videos aided me in basic understanding.
What a useful tool
People think weather routing is only useful for long distance sailors. How wrong. The departure variations option lets you pick the right time of day for leaving considering wind (HRRR)and currents (NCOM) for the US east coast for example. Worked this summer multiple times and was very accurate. I love this app!
Fantastic Wind app!
We love LuckGrib and use it while cruising in the Pacific Northwest where wind is always on our minds (too much and too little). The tutorial is very helpful, there is a large selection of forecast models to select from, and the graphic output is easily understandable. There is a bit of a learning curve but that is true of all Grib file apps. Give it a chance and I think you’ll be impressed!
Amazing
Smooth yet powerful user interface is a pleasure to use. Ease of accessing ASCAT data alone is worth the price of admission. Extensive documentation tells you a lot about the developer's attention to detail. Very reasonable pricing model--no subscriptions!
Wonderful app, superb support
Easy to use and excellent routing output. Compares very favorably to other routing apps. Must have. Support is top.
Mark Norman
Love the compression and fast download, the access to regional models as well as global, Luck Grib is my go to weather app for passage planning.
Awesome, easy, affordable
So easy to use. Tutorials are built in and easy to follow. Great app!
Best Weather Routing App I’ve found
Using LuckGrib for some boat optimizations for Great Lakes racing and the combination of detailed real-world options and settings and ability to quickly visualize decisions and their ramifications is second to none. Well done!
