Has been accurate almost every time..a few missed..sometimes a single digit wind condition is a double..but most part it’s a good app
Worked well for predicting wind direction and velocity

Crossed Lake Michigan June 5th from Marinette, WI to Acme, Michigan. Used app to predict wind and plan trip. Very helpful.
The best

I run a charter. Wind finder is the number one tool we have for predicting weather. It is by far the best.
Hurricane Gulch / Angels Gate

This little gizmo is just right for tomorrow’s predictions Every Day at the gulch and Angels Gate. Sailing Speed runs require 10 kts plus with a 14,000 pound boat and a 4 hour time window... Hooked me in to plan ahead. GREAT RESULTS
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!
