See what the water and the wind are doing at the same time. Know if the ebb and the breeze line up before you load the car.
The tide or current curve with wind stacked right under it. Drag across and both move together.
The same tide and current predictions NOAA publishes. Flood above the line, ebb below, arrows for which way the water sets.
It scores every half hour of the forecast for wind sports and tells you when it's good, and when it isn't. 13 knots on a foil is not 13 knots on a small kite.
The National Weather Service coastal waters forecast for your zone, with small craft advisories first.
Night is shaded and sunrise and sunset are marked, so you know if the window lands in daylight.
Apple Watch app and widgets, plus favourite spots with alerts.
Why I built it
I'd check the tide in one app and the wind in another and try to line them up in my head. Now it's one chart. Crissy Field is scored against local guidance, everywhere else uses general wind sport rules, and the app tells you which.

NOAA CO-OPS predictions, the same ones NOAA publishes. Wind comes from Open-Meteo and the marine forecast from the National Weather Service.
Anywhere NOAA publishes predictions: roughly 3,500 tide stations and 4,400 current stations across the United States.
That's what it's built for. Windows are graded by the gear they suit, and you set the lightest wind you'll bother with.
No. No account, no analytics, no ads. Your location is only used to show you on the map and is never sent anywhere.
No. It's a planning aid. Always check real conditions before you go out.
Predictions are astronomical only and don't account for wind, river runoff or pressure. Conditions scoring is a planning aid, not a safety call. Check conditions yourself before you launch. Data from NOAA CO-OPS, the National Weather Service and Open-Meteo. Not affiliated with NOAA.
Also by me
I also build apps for runners, cyclists, swimmers and triathletes at HeadwindLab.
