FAQ

SailCall answers one question: should you go sailing today? Search a harbor or coastal point and you get go, caution, or no-go, plus wind, seas, visibility, reasons, and timing advice. Built for recreational day sails, not offshore passage planning.

WeatherAPI.com data: today's hourly forecast (wind, rain, visibility, pressure, UV) and today's marine outlook (waves and swell). Tide times are not included yet — use a local tide table for harbor entry and depth. We focus on today's coastal day sail, not multi-day offshore routes.

No. SailCall helps you decide whether today's conditions suit a recreational day sail. It is not a chart plotter, routing tool, or substitute for official marine forecasts, tide books, or your own seamanship. Cross-check with authoritative sources before leaving the dock, especially for pilotage, night sailing, or offshore work.

The numbers come from WeatherAPI.com; we do not invent wind or wave heights. Our engine applies consistent sailing thresholds on top so the verdict is explainable. Marine wave data on the free tier is a daily outlook, not hour-by-hour. Caution means double-check before you go. No-go means it looks rough for a casual day sail.

Yes. Weather data is attributed to WeatherAPI.com per their terms. We may add tides and longer marine forecasts later if sailors ask for them.

Maybe. We are collecting feedback first. Tide times and longer marine outlooks are the most common requests, but we will only add them if people actually need them.
