## What is Wind Ready?

Try Pro free for 14 days. No payment required. No automatic charge. 

Wind Ready checks forecasts for the wind you want, at your chosen spots, during the hours you’re free. Get Pro alerts when matching opportunities are found, so you can spend less time checking and more time planning your next outing.

Choose the wind that suits your activity:
- For kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing or boating, set a maximum wind speed to look for lighter winds.
- For sailing, windsurfing or kiteboarding, set a minimum wind speed and your preferred direction to find the wind you’re waiting for.

Find a time that works for you:
Choose your days and hours. Wind Ready Pro looks for periods when the forecast meets your conditions throughout your selected time.

Browse matching windows up to 14 days ahead, where available, with the best match shown first. Get alerts when new matches are found. If your full period doesn’t match, explore shorter options.

Fit your plans around your calendar:
With Pro, connect your calendar to find windows around your synced availability. Matching alerts can then take your free time into account, helping you find opportunities that fit your schedule.

Keep track of a chosen window:
Found a time you like? Monitor it with Pro for reminders and condition-change updates. Keep upcoming and past monitored windows together in Activity, so you can return to your plans.

Plan around the tide:
See nearby predicted high and low tide times and heights. Explore a tide curve, check whether the tide is rising or falling, and view predictions alongside your chosen forecast window. Tide information is available where supported, with detailed predictions included in Pro.

Share your next outing:
Share a forecast window with someone you’re heading out with or add it to your calendar. Set quiet hours to pause notifications when you want some peace.

Start with Free:
Get one saved spot, the current wind forecast, wind compass, rain chance, UV, sunrise and sunset, plus the next high and low tide where available. No payment needed.

Get more with Pro:
• Save multiple spots
• Explore forecasts up to 14 days ahead, where available
• Find matching wind windows and receive automatic alerts
• Monitor chosen windows for reminders and updates
• Connect your calendar to find matches around your availability
• Explore detailed weather and tide predictions during your chosen windows, where supported

After your free trial, continue on Free unless you choose to subscribe.

Good to know:
Alerts require Pro access, notification permission and an internet connection. Location permission is optional—you can search manually.

Wind Ready uses weather-model forecasts, not live wind measurements. It is a planning tool, not an emergency warning service or a guarantee of safe conditions. Forecasts can change. Check official warnings and local conditions before heading out.
