It's great to know where and when it's windy. The service has been invaluable on road trips by letting me know which site to head for. There is much less chance of driving for hours and getting skunked with your service.

WindAlert is THE BEST wind monitoring app I've seen for sailing purposes. Real-time winds as I sailed across the San Francisco Bay were "dead-on accurate." So I'm jazzed about getting this app on my iPhone.

  • Reports for 50,000+ Weather Stations

    WindAlert is your complete wind information source. Through research and government connections we have access to real-time data feeds from a multitude of mesonets around the world and we provide this data for Free. Know of a station not yet in WindAlert? Let us know!

  • Model Forecasts for any spot on Earth

    WindAlert places the forecast AND real-time observation on the same graph so you can see for yourself how accurate the forecast is. However, a lot of sensors aren't placed exactly where you do your activity so WindAlert gives you the ability to instantly get a forecast anywhere in the world by just clicking the map. Save that location to create your own "virtual station" to always know what the forecast is WHERE YOU ARE GOING, not miles away like most weather services.

  • Create and Share Wind Profiles

    WindAlert makes it easy for you to quickly save favorite station lists, maps, graphs, forecast tables, etc... into your own wind "profile". Share your profile with your friends AND browse other people's profiles because maybe they know the area better than you. Better Data. Better Decisions.

  • Wind alerts via e-mail, SMS, or mobile device

    Be alerted when winds reach thesholds that you select. Settings include: Wind Direction, high and low wind speeds, days of the week, frequency of alerts, gusts vs. averages, etc. Alerts can be set for both real time winds AND forecasted winds. Let the wind call you!

  • National Weather Service Watches and Warnings

    WindAlert gives you the ability to turn on precision nautical charts on several application platforms. These charts can be placed under real time weather data as well as forecast maps.

  • Real Time Virtual Observations anywhere on Earth

    Virtual Stations give a forecast going forward in time but also give a "best guess" for what is happening right now. This feature uses a combined algorithm by interpolating nearby observations and weighing against high resolution forecast model data. The results are surprisingly accurate!

  • Exclusive WRAMS High Resolution Forecast Model

    WindAlert offers the WRAMS model in addition to all publicly available forecast models. WRAMS is a true forecast model being run and tweaked for greater accuracy by ingesting WeatherFlow's unique weather stations and dataset. Most other weather websites offer the same rehash of government models but WindAlert's WRAMS product is truly unique and accurate.

  • Sea Surface Temperatures

    Global high resolution (1km) Sea Surface Temperatures are available as an overlay on all map products. This is a derived satellite product that updates once a day but can provide critical data for your wind related activity.
