Description:
Real worldwide wind forecast app from kiteboarders!
Windy is a handy wind app for extreme sports based on wind and other outdoor activities (SUP, fishing, bike, RC pilotage).
Now we decided to make micro communities on spots to exchange weather reports (wind direction, wave forecast, kite forecast, surf report, kite surf forecast, wind report). If you want to be a local leader – send us the name of your spot and we will make chat for it(feedback@catchthewind.co).
You can see all weather data on one screen at a glance for next 10 days in Windy-bar or find more precise details in Windy-table.
Also check out our WOW-feature: animated wind map – it shows how the winds blow on the globe.
Design is our main passion. We want to show you wind in the most beautiful way.
WINDY is the must have wind finder app for:
– kitesurfing (kitesurf),
– windsurfing (wind surf),
– snowkiting,
– yachting and sailing,
– paragliding,
– skydiving,
– cycling,

Among our users we have also drone pilots, wind power producers, crane operators, ordinary people (even from Windy city) and golf players.
It’s popular among fishermen, that’s why we decided to make spots with chat to share the catch on lakes, rivers etc.
