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.
