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.

Windtrack doesn't just show the forecast. For the date you choose, it tracks how the forecast changes over time, analyses it, compares it with past years and presents it as a clear report. Other apps show only the latest forecast. You look weeks ahead, see "Saturday 25 knots, let's cancel", and Saturday arrives with a flat calm sea. Windtrack queries five global models four times a day for the point and time you choose, and never deletes an update. You see which way the forecast is drifting and whether the models are coming together. A narrowing spread between models is a far stronger sign of confidence than wind speed alone. NEW — WIDGETS, APPLE WATCH AND CARPLAY (Premium) Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app and complications, and CarPlay show your tracked point's average wind, direction and gusts at a glance. Widgets refresh automatically as forecasts update. Widgets and Apple Watch require iOS 26 and watchOS 26. FEATURES - Five global models in one place: ECMWF, ICON, GFS, Météo-France and UKMO — four updates a day - How the forecast changed over time: see in one chart how the forecast for your target date has shifted over the days - Spread between models: confidence grows as the models converge — a data-driven answer to "go or no go" - Captain commentary in your language: AI turns all the data into plain sailor's language — Turkish, English, German, Russian and Greek - Notifications: you are notified when the forecast for your point changes significantly; the commentary is prepared before the notification is sent, so it is waiting when you open it - Offline access: even out of coverage, the latest forecasts, charts and commentary open; every item shows when it was fetched, so stale data never fools you - Spatial pattern: how the wind behaves across the area, from four satellite points about 20 nautical miles north, south, east and west of your point - Historical context: for points within POSEIDON coverage, a comparison with the same date window over the past five years — is this wind normal or unusual? - High resolution: for points in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the 5 km Greek POSEIDON model comes in three days before the target - Observed: follow live measurements from observation stations to see whether the forecast held; the station's distance in miles is always shown WITH PREMIUM - Unlimited new points - 3 tracking points at once - Forecasts up to 15 days ahead - Points stay open indefinitely - Detailed point analysis and captain commentary - Verification report card and archive - Widgets, Apple Watch and CarPlay Sign in within seconds with your Google or Apple account. Note: All weather models can be wrong. Windtrack does not run its own weather model; it collects the forecasts of existing global models and tracks and analyses how they change over time. The decision to put to sea is always the captain's. Privacy Policy: https://windtrack.tr/gizlilik/en/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
