i recently switched from a less accurate model - based app/ website that shall remain nameless.
I am now using windy.com (for the free ECMWF ? forecast) and the commensurate Android app and I love it so far. Maybe it was the model's fault all
those times I felt let down and just shrugged it off to the nature of wind.
WHAT I FLY:
Flysurfer Soul v2 12m, Soul 15m, Soul v2 21m
Flexi Rage 1.8m, Jojo RM 3m, Flexi Blurr 3.5, Flexi Blade 4.0m, Flexi Blade 4.9m, Flexi Blurr 5, Jojo RM 6m
WHAT I RIDE:
Kite Skates, Libre Full Race, GI Conflict 106, OR Mako 140, Spleene Door 159
What I Am In The Market For: Peter Lynn Vapors, Weatherproof Kite Buggy Bag for Libre, PL or Flexi Small Buggy to Tow With, Flexi Pro Link Handles,
Flexi Lines, Flexi Kite Killers

I've been watching windy.com too. Only thing I don't like is that I have to watch video of the map changing color, instead of just reading a table.
Lately its always blue, so I guess I have the time to watch.....

Randy, if you click a place on the map, you can open up a char at the bottom of the page - they have a 10 day forecast thats available for ECMWF.
