Features

Every feature, no fluff.

WAVOA is the wind and wave-sports app we wanted on our own phones. Windsurf, kite, wing, surf — one home for all four. Here's everything inside.

Multi-model forecasts

Four models. Real spread.

Hourly out to +168 h. Per-model bundles refreshed hourly via a GitHub Actions GRIB pipeline — no field-mixing on the NOW card. What you see is one model end-to-end.

Smart alerts

Alerts you'll actually trust.

Combine wind speed, gusts, wave height + period, and direction bands with AND/OR logic. Per-favorite "yellow" and "red" pushes that match the colors on the globe.

My Gear

The right gear, the first time.

Brand picker (60+ curated brands), sub-types — shortboard, longboard, foil, SUP-as-surf — and manual wind & wave windows per setup. The matcher uses your numbers, not heuristics.

Logbook

Every session, remembered.

Quick-log by sport — windsurf, kite, wing, surf. WAVOA picks the right gear from your gear and captures wind / gust / wave from the cached forecast at the time. Monthly stats with wind histograms.

Watch the weather move.

Mapbox-powered weather map with WMS overlays, a particle wind field, and a 0–48 h scrubber. Switch between wind, gust, wave or temperature layers in one tap.
