my new poject : iGetwind.com

Post by laf1greg »

Hi my name is Grégoire, I'm a windsurfer and software developer from Montreal Canada.

Since 2016 I'm working on a new project : iGetwind.com. It's a wind/waves/tides forecast web application for kitesurfers and windsurfers worldwide.

I made it easy to compare forecast models in North America : HRRR, NAM, GFS (NOAA) + HDPRS (CAN). Plus waves/tides for any location. You just have to click on the map where you want to get the forecasts.

I invite you to try it and send me feedback :

https://igetwind.com

Thank you and good wind!

Grégoire

Also check out Model #2 for PA/China Creek:
http://www.bigwavedave.ca/forecasts.php?page=9

If it shows inflow and 10+ it will likely be 20+ there.

If it shows N/outflow then that is usually bad.

Kus, ws247 usually does accurately predict wind in the inlet :)

tempy, Yesterday was the second windiest day (July 21/20 was the first) from our experience this summer, as, we rigged and ripped on our 4.7
