GokovaWind delivers real-time wind and weather data directly from Gökova Bay, Turkey—one of the world's premier destinations for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and sailing. At our core, we're riders who built a tool we needed. We've been checking these winds for over a decade, and we know how important accurate data is when you're deciding whether to rig up or stay on shore. GokovaWind isn't trying to be a global weather app. We're focused on doing one thing exceptionally well: providing the most accurate, real-time wind data for Gökova Bay. WHY GOKOVAWIND? Hyper-Local Accuracy We don't estimate. Our dedicated weather station at Gökova Bay provides real measurements, updated every minute. When you see 20 knots on GokovaWind, that's exactly what's happening right now. Smart Notifications Set your ideal wind speed and get instant alerts when conditions meet your preferences. Whether you need 15 knots or 25 knots, we'll notify you so you never miss the perfect session. Statistics Daily weather patterns to learn when Gökova's famous thermal winds typically build. Visual Weather See exactly where our weather station is located with our integrated satellite map. FEATURES Live Weather Dashboard: • Current wind speed and direction • Gust measurements • Temperature • Humidity and pressure • Rain conditions Smart Alerts: • Custom wind speed thresholds • Rain notifications Premium Features: • Satellite map view • Ad-free experience • Custom units (knots/m/s, °C/°F) • Smart Alerts WHO IS THIS FOR? Windsurfers who need exact wind speed and direction Kitesurfers planning sessions around consistent conditions Sailors requiring accurate marine weather Beach-goers checking conditions before heading out Local residents staying informed Travel planners researching the best time to visit Water sports schools providing accurate student information ABOUT GÖKOVA BAY Located on Turkey's southwestern coast near Akyaka, Gökova Bay is world-renowned for its consistent thermal winds. The unique geography creates ideal conditions for wind sports, typically building from mid-morning through afternoon. WHY LOCAL MATTERS Generic weather apps use regional data and algorithms to estimate conditions. They might tell you what's happening 50km away or what their model predicts. GokovaWind tells you what's actually happening at the specific spot where you'll be riding. That difference matters when you're deciding whether to rig a 4.5 or a 5.5. DATA YOU CAN TRUST Our weather station uses professional-grade equipment, properly maintained and calibrated. We rely on this data for our own sessions, and we know you're counting on it for yours. SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS • Weekly: Perfect for short trips • Monthly: Most popular • Yearly: Best value Legacy users (who supported us before February 2026) get lifetime premium access automatically—our way of saying thank you. PRIVACY FOCUSED We collect only the data necessary to provide our service.   We don't sell your data.  We don't track your browsing. We don't track your location.
