Ratings and Reviews
Wind tough to predict
We use this App most frequently when at the shore.
Nothing seems more difficult to predict accurately than the wind. This year we also had 4 days on a boat over a 3 week period. They were calm (less than 10mph) as predicted amidst windy days on either side. We have always been impressed with this App but this year 100% was unbelievable. Some of the predictions were a week out.
Obviously 100% is not always going to happen. Most years it is 70-80% accurate at Nags Head for us. The mix of water (Gulf and Labrador currents), land, and Fall you have a difficult forecast!
Easy to use. Accurate
Windfinder is exactly that. Easily pick locations on a map near your favorite launch site or airport and get a 3 hour chunk forecast 10 days in advance or get a 1 hour detailed forecast for the next three days. Easily scroll between your saved favorite locations and get real time wind reports from weather stations. As a bonus, there is a great wind map in motion that is fun to play with a useful for deciding to stay inland on go kiting on a lake or weather it’s worth the drive to the coast.
Great wave reports for boating
I am surprised that there are not several boating specific apps that give wave height and weather reports. I have looked into and tried several other apps and forecast web sites, but Windfinder has given me the best info presented in an easy to see at a glance just what I am looking for. The “Superforecast” has been great - providing an hourly snapshot of what to expect, and customizable notifications are a bonus.
Thank you for a great app!
