Session · Verdict

Why the verdict is what it is.

The rules that decided it, the next 48 hours and every spot's day, side by side.

Session on Mac: your spots with verdicts on the left; Event Site GO with its next good window 13:00–19:00, live station 21 gusting 27 knots, the 48-hour model consensus chart, the safety strip and the rules that passed.

Spot · Event Site

Every model, with its spread drawn.

The live station against the forecast, with the hourly table, webcam and notes.

Spot on iPad: Event Site's live reading and verdict, the hourly table, the model graph with its spread, the map and the webcam.

Map · Inspector

The wind field, hour by hour.

Scrub or play 48 hours, then tap a spot to inspect it without leaving the map.

Map on Mac: the full-bleed wind field with layer chips, spot pins carrying verdicts, the playhead and the inspector open on a spot.

Alerts · Compose

Test an alert before you save it.

How often it would have fired in 30 days, then a heads-up the evening before.

Alert compose sheet on iPad: every condition on one sheet, with a preview of how often the alert would have fired in the last 30 days.

A go/no you can read

The rules run in order. The first hard fail wins.

NO

Offshore, a storm in the window, or wind over your maximum.Storm: lightning chance 10% or more, or CAPE 800 J/kg or more.

NO

Too light for your range.

MARGINAL

Gusts at 1.5× the mean wind or more, or models more than 5 kn apart.

GO

In range, not offshore, no storm.

No score, no hidden weighting. A missing value shows a dash and why, never a guess.

For every wind sport

Each sport brings its own range.

  • Kite
  • Wing/Foil
  • Windsurf
  • Surf
  • Sail
  • Para

Or choose “Just show me the wind”: wind, gusts and storm warnings, with no verdicts.

Private by design

No account, no ads, no tracking, no server.

Your spots, profiles, alerts and notes stay on your device. Weather requests carry a spot's coordinates, never your location.
