Coastal destinations
The coast deserves
a closer view.
Wind exposure, coastline and local showers can change the picture over short distances. Bring those distinctions into your visitor information, without confusing a forecast with a harbour measurement.

Marine guidance, labelled
Present modelled sea temperature and waves as marine guidance—not as an instrument inside the harbour.
A local visual reference
Discuss camera integration where there is suitable coverage and permission to publish it.
Different places. Different exposure.
An area average is not a measurement at the water’s edge.
Keep site and area readings distinct.
An exposed coastal instrument and a sheltered inland station can report different winds without either being faulty. An integration should make clear which information applies to the destination.
