## What is WAVOA?

WAVOA is the live wind and wave companion for windsurfers, kiteboarders, wingfoilers, and surfers. Find the right conditions at the right spot - anywhere in the world.

WHY WAVOA
• 5,700+ spots worldwide - every wind and wave destination, not just a hand-picked few
• Live conditions from real weather stations, buoys, and observation networks
• Side-by-side forecast models (ECMWF, ICON, GFS) so you can pick the one you trust
• 700+ live webcams for spot checks before you drive
• Beautiful map and globe view — see conditions across a coastline at a glance

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Spot conditions update around the clock from a layered data stack:
• Real-time observations: METAR airport stations, NDBC buoys, DWD SYNOP - closest station wins per field
• Three forecast models per spot for direct comparison
• 7-day wind, gust, swell, period, tide, and air temp
• Webcam thumbnails and full live streams where available

DESIGNED FOR WIND & WATER SPORTS
• Sports supported: windsurf, kite, wing, surf
• Per-discipline pin colors based on your personal wind/wave thresholds
• Save your gear quiver - sail / kite / wing sizes, board volumes
• Log sessions: date, duration, conditions, gear, notes, rating
• Stats across your history: average wind, hours per sport, gear use

NEAR ME, FAVORITES, AND CUSTOM SPOTS
