Wind Alarm App for Wing Foilers
Watch a supported station for your next wing session. Set the wind conditions you want to monitor, then check lulls and gusts before choosing your wing.
Choose conditions for your equipment and experience. A station reading does not establish that a session is safe.
What WindUp does for wing foilers.
- Monitor wind near your wing-foiling spot
- Choose a window based on your wing, foil and recent sessions
- Use the wing-size calculator to compare starting estimates
WindUp is a free live wind alarm — monitor a supported station for your chosen conditions. On iOS, allow Critical Alerts to sound through Silent or Focus. Delivery depends on your device and connection.
What wind speed do you need for wing foiling?
There is no single wing-foiling wind range. The 12–22 kt illustration can be useful for discussing conditions, but your equipment and experience determine your range. Use the wing-size calculator as an estimate and check your equipment’s guidance.
Gusts, not just averages
Gusts and lulls change how much power is available to get onto foil and stay there. Review recent readings as well as the latest average.
How to set your wing foiling alarm
Choose a supported station with useful exposure for your spot. Set conditions based on your equipment, experience and local guidance. Check the timestamp and conditions on arrival; a matching station reading is not a safety assessment.
Reading the wind for wing foiling
Wing size, foil area, board volume, rider weight and pumping technique all affect low-wind performance. Compare the lulls with your own recent sessions instead of relying on a universal minimum.
