# WAVOA > WAVOA is a wind and wave forecasting and session-tracking app for windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling and surfing. It brings spot discovery, forecast comparison, alerts, equipment planning and a session logbook together on iOS and Android, with Apple Watch and Wear OS companion apps. Official website: https://www.wavoa.app Languages: English, German and Spanish. This overview was reviewed on 9 September 2026. The linked product, pricing, help and policy pages are the current source of detail; app-store offers determine purchase prices and device availability. ## Product overview - Discover spots on a globe and map, inspect conditions and compare forecasts before choosing where to go. - Compare 16 weather models: four global models (ICON-Global, ECMWF, GFS and AIFS) and regional models where available. Regional model resolution and coverage vary. The model guide explains sources, coverage, update cycles, observations and limitations. - Review wind and gust forecasts, wave and marine information, tide information where available, webcams and measured observations where coverage exists. Forecasts and observations are different sources and are not interchangeable. - Configure alerts for chosen conditions, such as wind, gusts, waves, direction and time windows. Plan-dependent limits apply. - Organize boards, sails and other equipment in My Gear and use supported setup recommendations. - Keep a session logbook with conditions and equipment, record or import supported GPS tracks, review available performance metrics, and share a session card or export a GPS track as GPX. ## Watches and other trackers - Apple Watch: watchOS 10 or later, a paired iPhone and a WAVOA account are required. The companion app records sessions and displays live metrics and available conditions. - Wear OS: Wear OS 3 or later, a paired Android phone and a WAVOA account are required. The companion app includes recording controls, live metrics, a speed dial and a conditions page. - After account setup and sync, supported watches can record while the phone stays ashore; saved sessions transfer when devices reconnect. Permissions, battery, GPS reception, device compatibility and release availability matter. - Garmin, Suunto, Polar, COROS and other compatible tracker recordings can be imported as GPX, FIT or TCX files containing supported GPS data and timestamps. These are file imports, not a claim that WAVOA has a native app or automatic account sync for every tracker brand. The documented import limit is 25 MB. - Sessions containing a GPS route can be exported as GPX. Available metrics depend on the original recording and fields it contains. A manual session without a route cannot export a GPS track. - Apple Health workout and route access is permission-based on supported Apple devices. ## Plans - Drift is the free plan: the map, all 16 forecast models, three favourites, three alerts, webcams, seven-day marine information, tides and sessions, subject to geographic data availability. - Plane adds unlimited favourites, ten alerts with time windows, custom private spots, gear recommendations, five-spot comparison and community report submission. The website's EUR reference price is EUR 4.99 per month. - Foil includes Plane features plus smart-match alerts, unlimited alerts and publishing custom spots to the community. The website's EUR reference price is EUR 11.99 per month. - Annual billing options and trials, when offered, are shown by the app store. Final currency, taxes, prices, eligibility and billing terms can vary by store. File import and GPX export are available on every plan. ## Important context - Weather forecasts are predictions, not a guarantee of safe conditions. Data coverage, freshness, model agreement and device recording quality vary. The model guide and in-app source information explain these limits. - Watch capabilities and physical controls differ by device. The help guide covers setup, pause/resume, saving, sync and permissions. - The homepage follows a cinematic journey through a windsurfing day. It uses illustrative scenes and a synthetic demonstration GPS track at Ho‘okipa, Maui. Its figures are examples, not a verified customer outing or live weather report. The Features and Spots pages provide the detailed app tour and spot map. - The website's links to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are optional external ways to ask about WAVOA. They do not imply endorsement by those providers or an AI assistant built into WAVOA. - Privacy, cookie choices, data export and account deletion are documented on the policy pages below. ## Product and support pages - [WAVOA home](https://www.wavoa.app/en): A windsurfing day from forecast to shared session, followed by plans and downloads. - [Features](https://www.wavoa.app/en/features): Interactive app tour, watch screens, tracker compatibility and session features. - [Spots](https://www.wavoa.app/en/spots): Explore the spot map and conditions before choosing where to go. - [Forecast models](https://www.wavoa.app/en/models): Model coverage, resolutions, observations, sources and gaps. - [Plans and pricing](https://www.wavoa.app/en#pricing): Current public plan comparison and EUR reference prices. - [Help and FAQ](https://www.wavoa.app/en/help): Setup, watches, tracker imports, recording, accounts and subscriptions. - [Contact](https://www.wavoa.app/en/contact): Support and general enquiries. - [Download WAVOA](https://www.wavoa.app/en#download): Current App Store and Google Play links. ## Privacy, policies and attribution - [Privacy policy](https://www.wavoa.app/en/privacy): Data handling and privacy choices. - [Cookies](https://www.wavoa.app/en/privacy/cookies): Website cookie and analytics choices. - [Data and deletion](https://www.wavoa.app/en/privacy/data): Data export and account deletion. - [Terms of service](https://www.wavoa.app/en/privacy/terms): Service terms and limitations. - [Licences and attribution](https://www.wavoa.app/en/license): Data and asset attribution. - [Imprint](https://www.wavoa.app/en/imprint): Publisher and contact details. ## Other languages - [WAVOA auf Deutsch](https://www.wavoa.app/de): German product, help and policy pages. - [WAVOA en español](https://www.wavoa.app/es): Spanish product, help and policy pages.
