Fishing weather, scored for the boat
For anglers the wind decides the day: it moves the boat, the line and the waves. BlockCast weighs wind at 9 out of 10 for fishing and, near the coast, adds swell and tide to the score, so you know which morning the lake or the bay will lie down.

What BlockCast checks for fishing
Every block gets a risk score from 0 to 100: green under 25, yellow under 55, red above. The worst factor drives the score and the others add to it. These are the default weights; you can change any of them in the app under Adjust.
Comfortable feels-like temperature: 2 to 32 °C (36 to 90 °F). Wind adds risk from 20 km/h (12 mph) sustained or 38 km/h (24 mph) in gusts.
How it works
- Pick fishing and your spot. Use your location or search any place in the world, and save up to three.
- Read your week at a glance. Choose 2, 3, 4 or 6 hour blocks and the hours you actually play. Tap any block for the hour-by-hour detail and the reason behind its colour.
- Plan it and stop checking. Add the session to your planner and your calendar. BlockCast re-checks every forecast and tells you if a planned session turns bad.
Fishing weather questions
How windy is too windy to fish from a boat?
In a small boat many anglers call it at 20 to 25 km/h (12 to 15 mph); open water builds a chop quickly beyond that. BlockCast ramps risk from 20 km/h of sustained wind and treats strong gusts separately.
Does BlockCast use waves and tides?
Yes, near the coast. Swell height and the tide cycle are part of the fishing score when marine data exists for your spot. Inland lakes are scored on wind, rain, temperature and UV.
Does BlockCast use barometric pressure or solunar tables?
No. It scores whether the conditions are comfortable and safe to be out, not whether the fish will bite. That part is still up to you.
Where the data comes from
Forecasts come from Open-Meteo. Rain is the wettest of three models (the local best match, ECMWF and Canada’s GEM), so a green block means they all agree. Radar is the North American composite from Environment and Climate Change Canada; official alerts come from Environment Canada and the US National Weather Service.
