AUSWinds is the latest and greatest wind/weather application from P4G. Designed for anyone who cares about wind in particular and weather in general. Whether you sail a yacht or a dinghy, go fishing, windsurf, kitesurf or just ride a bike this app is for you. While we love the BOM's marine forecasts (and this app has all of them for Australia) we still find the best information is actual observations taken from the many BOM observation sites plus some yacht clubs. This way you get the best idea on what the actual conditions are. The application takes this information and presents it either in searchable/sortable tabular data or on a map giving the user the best realtime view. Informative graphs are also available to help you understand the current trends and share with your friends via social media.
