How it works

From sign-up to forecast in three steps

1

Pick your waters

Tell us your forecast area, or just text a pin drop. Any coastal zone in Canada or the US, from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. Hawaii, USVI and PR included.

2

Environment Canada or NOAA issues an update

The moment a new forecast, warning, or amendment is issued for your area, we are notified.

3

It lands on your phone

A clean, readable text arrives: winds, seas, warnings. Nothing to open, nothing to refresh.

Why wxtxt

Built for the helm, not the couch

No app to fumble

Nothing to install, no login at the helm. It's just a text message like any other.

The instant it's issued

We push forecasts and amendments to your phone within 5 minutes of Environment Canada or NOAA issuing them.

Off-grid friendly

No data plan, no Wi-Fi. Works over cellular SMS and satellite messengers like inReach® and ZOLEO®. Excels in areas with weak or spotty cell coverage.

Drop a pin, switch areas

Heading somewhere new? Text a location or a maps link and your feed follows you up the coast.

Warnings stand out

Gales, storms and amendments are flagged clearly so the important ones never get lost.

Start & stop any time

Text FEEDOFF to pause your feed, FEEDON to bring it back. You're always in control.
