SMSKN October 2025 Presentation: Weather forecasting tools for sea kayakers

As the weather finally turns autumnal, we start our monthly Zoom presentations with SMSKN member Eric Sofen talking about weather forecasting tools for sea kayaking. Which apps and websites should you check when planning a trip? What are the differences between them? And what do you do when forecasts disagree? What are the specialized tools for checking on surf and currents?

Eric has a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington.
