HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (11 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Great working app but I don't need wind data in February, can't stop it from vacuuming my checking account.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR

  • Oh and a wind cam for Kanaha would be great Thanks 5★, Jul 25, 2020
  • All the wind info I need at my fingertips. 5★, May 26, 2020

★★★★★ Seems more accurate than other apps.
Useful, it helps16%

27 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Good app, very helpful for predicting windswell for surfing the Great Lakes.
★★★★★ The site details used to be handy and useful, now we have a “graph” tab which shows the same details as in the Report, so you have to skip a tab and continue to forecast etc
★★★★★ It was useful even if it had lag…
Easy to use6%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Outstanding features and easy to use.
★★★★★ Great balance of subscription non-subscription content. I like the different models.
★★★★★ Please go back to making it easy for the user to quickly get the updated reading for a specific site.
Worth the money3%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ But the free version is still helpful in these spots and in second-rate spots where there is no pro forecast.
★★★★★ That would free up more space inside the circle to display the wind speed in a larger font so that it's actually legible.
★★★★★ Not cheap, but definitely worth the money!
Looks great2%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This forces you to go in, wait for the slow updating and jumping UI and do it over and over again
★★★★★ But the menu system and interface is not well thought out.
★★★★★ Consolidates relevant forecast data in an excellent interface

★★★★★Aug 27, 2026
Great app improved lately

It’s working well with a lot of recent fixes. Love the Apple Watch integration where you can view the wind on your watch face. One thing though. An app called iWindsurf should not have wingers on the splash screen!

★★★★★Aug 12, 2026
My go to source for wind updates and forecasts.

Read in the morning, same in the evening. Peruse throughout the day.

★★★★★Jul 21, 2026

Wind Forecasts

They no longer show. Just a blank topo map. If you toggle around between models you can get something to show but sometimes it is by the hour, sometimes every 4 hours. Come on guys! Used to be great. Now just an exercise in frustration. I am about to give up my paid subscription.

★★★★★Jun 24, 2026
Session saver

Ive been running my school since 2003 using I windsurf and I kitesurf as go to source. Successful sessions are planned; some are spontaneous... relying on up to date accurate forecasts ! Thank you guys for all you do to maximize information availability !! Laurel Kaiser Island Style Watersports
