About

Alagua

Should you head to your spot today? Alagua is not another weather forecast. It turns wind and sea data into a clear, personalized session outlook — hour by hour. Most weather apps show you raw numbers: knots, gusts, wind direction and wave height. You still have to interpret everything and decide whether it is worth going. Alagua takes the next step. It combines the forecast with your sport, weight, level and equipment to show your chance of a good session throughout the day. HOW IT WORKS • Choose your sport: surf, kitesurf, windsurf, wing, foil or SUP. • Add your weight, experience level and equipment. • Select your favorite spot. • See your personalized session outlook, hour by hour. • Find the best window of the day at a glance. WHY ALAGUA IS DIFFERENT • The forecast adapts to you. The same 12 knots can mean very different things for riders with different weights and equipment. • It highlights the best time to go, instead of making you interpret a full weather table. • Wind, gusts, direction, waves and water temperature are considered together. • Your favorite spots are always within reach. • You can start for free. Made for riders who check the sea before the clock. Wind and sea forecast data provided by Open-Meteo. Weather conditions can change quickly; always consider local conditions and safety guidance.
