They also rely on ocean observations (e.g., wave heights, water temperatures) from coastal stations, fixed and drifting buoys, and ships. Forecasters interpret weather forecast guidance from several numerical weather prediction models, which are computer simulations of the atmosphere.

It turns out there are three classes of small craft. The first is 16 to 26 feet in overall length, the second is 27 to 39 feet in length, and the third is 40 to 65 feet in length. All are regarded as small craft. Therefore, any boat under 66 feet is considered a small craft.
