Support VYC Junior sailors competing internationally! ⛵🇲🇽

They’re raising funds to help cover travel and competition expenses for upcoming international regattas, including the ILCA Youth World Championships.

New VYC Weather Center Is Live!

Vallarta Yacht Club has launched a completely redesigned *VYC Weather Center*, built for sailors, cruisers, fishermen, and anyone else who wants to keep an eye on conditions around Banderas Bay and along the Mexican Pacific coast.

The new Weather Center brings together the information we actually use in one place, with most of it updating automatically throughout the day.

You’ll find:

* Current wind, gusts, temperature, pressure, rain probability, sea state and swell
* A daily *Banderas Bay sailing outlook*
* Puerto Vallarta tides, sunrise, sunset and moon information
* Official National Hurricane Center tropical weather information
* An interactive VYC weather and storm-track map
* Current satellite and infrared imagery
* Official Mexican Pacific marine forecasts
* A cruising-weather snapshot from Cabo San Lucas to Acapulco
* Information explaining forecast models and some of the local weather quirks of Banderas Bay

During hurricane season, the Tropical Weather section automatically follows activity in the Eastern Pacific, including active storms and areas being monitored for development.

We also wanted the page to be useful beyond Banderas Bay. Cruisers moving along the Mexican west coast can quickly compare wind, seas, swell, weather and rain conditions at several major cruising areas.

And, of course, we’ve included something the computer models don’t always understand particularly well: *Banderas Bay has its own weather personality.* Our afternoon thermal can be considerably stronger than the broad-scale forecast models suggest, so local knowledge still matters.

Take a look:

This is very much a living project. We’ll continue improving it as we use it, and we’d especially like to hear from local sailors and cruisers about what additional information would make it more useful.

Fair winds — and now you have one more place to check just how fair they’re likely to be.
