## Description

Turn your AI agent into a maritime weather specialist with real-time ocean data at 5km resolution. If you are trying to plan a complex shipping route across a volatile stretch of water, you usually have to jump between several different weather tabs, trying to piece together wave periods, swell components, and current speeds. This Connector changes that by feeding your AI client with high-resolution ocean intelligence. You can ask for specific details on wave heights, current directions, and sea surface temperatures without the manual data entry. It is designed to give you the exact numbers you need to keep ships safe, surfers informed, or coastal projects on track. By connecting this to your existing workflow on Vinkius, you move from hunting for data to making decisions based on it. You get a clear picture of the water conditions in one place, turning your agent into a reliable source for hydrographic data. Instead of manually checking multiple sources for swell components and current velocities, you can just ask your agent to summarize the conditions for a specific coordinate. This means you can spend less time on data collection and more time on actual maritime operations. Whether you are looking for daily summaries to keep a yacht club informed or specific hourly forecasts for a commercial fishery, this tool provides the precision needed for professional marine environments.

## Tools

### get_marine_forecast
Pull hourly wave height, period, and direction data for maritime planning. This helps you see the exact wave conditions at a 5km resolution.

### get_ocean_currents
Get current velocity, direction, and sea surface temperature for water navigation. These details are essential for understanding how the water is moving.

### get_daily_marine
Retrieve a summary of max wave heights and dominant periods for daily planning. This provides a quick look at the most significant marine weather for the day.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the wave conditions off the coast of Hawaii right now?
```

**Response:** 
```
**Hawaii North Shore — Current Conditions**

* Wave height: 2.8m | Period: 14s
* Swell: 2.4m from NW (315°)
* Wind waves: 0.6m
* Sea surface temp: 25.3°C

Excellent surfing conditions with clean long-period northwest swell.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe to sail across the English Channel tomorrow?
```

**Response:** 
```
**English Channel — Tomorrow**

* Wave height: 1.2m (moderate)
* Wind waves: 0.8m from SW
* Ocean current: 0.3 m/s eastbound
* Sea temp: 14.1°C

Conditions are favorable for crossing. Expect moderate chop in the afternoon.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the maximum wave height expected in the North Sea this week?
```

**Response:** 
```
**North Sea 7-Day Wave Max**

* Day 1: 2.1m
* Day 2: 1.8m
* Day 3: 3.4m
* Day 4: 4.1m
* Day 5: 2.6m
* Day 6-7: 1.5m

Storm system on days 3-4 could produce significant wave heights. Exercise caution.
```

## Capabilities

### Pull hourly wave height and period forecasts
Get specific wave data for any maritime route at a 5km resolution.

### Get specific swell and wind-wave components
Separate wind-driven waves from deep-water swell for better navigation planning.

### Track ocean current velocity and direction
Identify how water is moving to avoid hazards or optimize drift.

### Check sea surface temperatures
Access water temperature data for environmental and operational tracking.

### Pull aggregated daily marine weather summaries
Get a high-level view of the day's dominant wave heights and periods.

### Access high-resolution 5km ocean data
Retrieve granular data that accounts for local coastal variations.

## Use Cases

### Route Planning
A shipping agent asks for the safest path across the English Channel. The agent uses `get_marine_forecast` to find low-wave periods.

### Fishery Scouting
A commercial fisherman asks for current speeds near the coast. The agent uses `get_ocean_currents` to find favorable drift zones.

### Coastal Construction
An engineer asks for a 7-day wave max summary. The agent uses `get_daily_marine` to assess potential impact on a new pier.

### Surfing Reports
A surf shop owner asks for swell direction and wave height at a specific beach. The agent pulls the data instantly.

## Benefits

- Stop manual data hunting by pulling wave height and swell components directly into your chat using `get_marine_forecast`.
- Improve navigation safety by getting real-time ocean current velocity and direction via `get_ocean_currents`.
- Simplify daily reporting with aggregated summaries of dominant wave periods and max heights from `get_daily_marine`.
- Plan more accurately with 5km resolution data that captures local coastal conditions better than generic models.
- Monitor sea surface temperatures instantly to help with species tracking or vessel cooling requirements.
- Separate wind-wave and swell data to understand the actual energy moving through the water.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get precise maritime data in your chat window instead of hunting through weather websites.

1. Connect the Open-Meteo Marine Weather MCP to your preferred AI client.
2. Provide the specific geographic coordinates or region you need to monitor.
3. Receive structured marine weather data like wave heights and current speeds.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What kind of ocean data does Open-Meteo Marine Weather provide?**
This Connector provides high-resolution ocean data including wave heights, swell periods, ocean current velocities, and sea surface temperatures. It is designed to give you a clear picture of water conditions for maritime use.

**Can I use Open-Meteo Marine Weather for shipping route planning?**
Yes, it is specifically built for maritime planning. You can use it to check wave heights and current directions to help determine the safest and most efficient routes for vessels.

**How accurate is the wave data in the Open-Meteo Marine Weather MCP?**
The data is provided at a 5km resolution. This level of detail is much more accurate for coastal areas and specific maritime zones than standard global weather models.

**Does Open-Meteo Marine Weather include sea surface temperatures?**
Yes, it includes sea surface temperature data. This is useful for various applications, from tracking marine life to monitoring water conditions for commercial fishing.

**Can I get daily summaries of wave heights with Open-Meteo Marine Weather?**
Yes, you can retrieve daily marine weather summaries. These provide a quick look at the dominant wave periods and maximum heights expected over a 24-hour period.

**Is Open-Meteo Marine Weather good for coastal engineering projects?**
It is an excellent tool for coastal engineers. The 5km resolution allows you to analyze specific hydrographic data for pier construction, beach monitoring, and other coastal works.

**Does Open-Meteo Marine Weather show ocean current directions?**
Yes, it provides both the velocity and the direction of ocean currents. This helps you understand how water is moving, which is critical for safe navigation and maritime operations.

**How accurate are the wave forecasts?**
Wave data is sourced from **ECMWF WAM, DWD EWAM, and NCEP GFS Wave** models at 5km resolution. Accuracy is excellent for open ocean but limited near coastlines due to resolution constraints.
