The graphical data includes satellite imagery and the charts are available in both vector and gridded data formats. The usefulness of this site for seafarers is mainly in that the weather data is available in text format. "Most Popular Marine Text Forecasts (low speed connection friendly)" is a good place to start. A graphical interface is still available for finding the forecast for the right area more easily. Mariners can also send in their own weather warnings, and view those of others in the area. The full variety of options for receiving weather data is huge, and this website is an excellent resource for reviewing the options.
