Never miss your wind conditions again!
Wind, gusts, waves, tides and currents are important factors in sailing. Wind direction is important for routing and navigation. Waves are a factor for calm and steady sailing or for fluctuating and rough conditions on the boat. Severe weather warnings are important for staying safe from storms and thunderstorms. Tides are important for coastal sailing and in areas with strong tides. Strong currents can cause the boat to drift off course.
