#windforecast

We are excited to introduce secondary data overlay options for wind speed, gusts, temperature, rainfall and snowfall! This feature is now available to all Windfinder Plus subscribers.

What are the benefits?

Value Grids help you read conditions more clearly, especially regarding temperature, wind speed, and precipitation. They’re a clean and simple layer that adds exact values directly on the map.

Simplified navigation

We’ve removed the shortcut button for wind indicators to keep the feature layout consistent and to make space for future improvements. You will find all data overlays in the map settings under the specific weather parameter.

We hope you enjoy the new view! Stay keen and see you soon!

Finding your favorite spots just got a whole lot easier with our latest update for iOS and Android!

Effortless Navigation: Search Directly on the Map! We've seamlessly integrated the search function right into the map. Now, instead of using the search tab in the bottom bar, you'll find the search box conveniently located in the top right corner of the map. This not only gives the bottom bar a sleeker, cleaner look, but it also displays your search results directly on the map for a more intuitive experience.

Bonus tip: Double-tap on “Map & Search” in the bottom bar to open the search directly.

No More Back and Forth: Introducing Split-Screen Mode

Our new Simplified Search lets you use the search function in split-screen mode. No more tedious switching between search results and the map – your results list stays visible while you navigate the map.

Enhanced Clarity and Easy Favoriting: Updated Markers and Labels! Plus, all markers and labels for spots and places are available on the map with updated markers for better clarity. 

You can even make a spot your favorite directly from the map by tapping the star symbol in the pop-up.

Hide or Show: Customize Your Map Experience! To enhance navigation and clarity, we've added options to the map menu that let you hide or show labels and favorites. Spots are now available as separate settings alongside webcams and measurement markers.

Simplified Search is now available for iOS and Android.

NEW -  Our spot search got a complete makeover! With a fresh look and optimized filter options, you can now find locations and spots a lot easier in your Windfinder app or on our website. 

Filter your search results by 

forecast availability for waves or tides 

type of location like weather station, airport or marina or your

preferred activities like sailing, kitesurfing or paragliding.

And even better: Your search results on the website are automatically shown by popularity to give you the best results. Otherwise, you can simply sort your results alphabetically here.

From now on, you can find wind and weather forecasts for 160,000 Windfinder spots, cities and locations worldwide by entering your preferred location into the text search box. 

Besides that we have optimized the wave and tide forecast for you.

These improvements are just the first of a whole set of new and helpful Windfinder features that will follow soon: so stay tuned!
