Find exposed legs
See where fetch, wind direction, and wave timing can turn an easy paddle into sustained work.
Vector Weather for paddlers
Plan the paddle before the group is committed.
Review the route against wind, waves, tide, exposure, shelter, landing options, daylight, and the pace of the people going with you.
Group-aware planning
The route is only good if the whole group can finish it.
Keep landing options
Plan pauses, exits, and sheltered alternatives before the group has crossed the point of commitment.
Protect the margin
Line conditions up with departure time, realistic speed, daylight, and the slower paddler.
