Kitesurf, windsurf, wingfoil or surf: Stoke tells you the day before your spot fires, and stays quiet the rest of the time. Pick your spots, set your own limits (wind, direction, waves, temperature) and get one daily briefing when a real window shows up. No spam, no ads, no subscription. WHAT YOU GET • 10-day wind & wave forecast, hour by hour: wind, gusts, direction, waves, period, temperature and cloud cover. • Three weather models blended per region (ECMWF, the local high-resolution model and ECMWF's AI model) plus the 51-member ECMWF ensemble, so you can see how certain the wind is. • Stoke score: every hour of every spot scored against your own limits, with flames on the days that beat your threshold. • Live wind map: animated particles show how the wind moves across the coast right now. • Smart alerts: a push the day before it fires, and one more when it's time. Your criteria, not ours. • Spot map: kite, windsurf, wing and surf spots near you, or add your own secret ones. • Community reports: live photos and on-the-water reports from riders who are actually there. • Sessions: log every session with GPS track, runs, top speed and heart rate. Start it from your Apple Watch and export to Strava. Forecasts are verified daily against local weather stations, so the model that is right at your spot is the one that scores it. Made by kiters and windsurfers in Denmark. Free, no ads.
