gust pings you when the wind is on at kite spots near you.
Live and forecast wind for every spot within reach, scored against your wind window and the directions each spot can actually be ridden in. Installs from this page. No App Store, no account.
The real app, running live with a fixed location in San Francisco.
How it works
gust finds kite spots near your phone and near the places you save. It starts from a curated list of about 800 spots worldwide, some 320 of them in the US, and fills gaps with spots mapped on OpenStreetMap.
For each spot it pulls current and hourly wind from Open-Meteo: speed, gusts, and direction. A spot is good when the wind sits inside your window, gusts stay under your limit, and the direction is onshore, side-onshore, or side for that beach. Offshore wind is never rated good.
When a spot turns good, or a good window shows up in the forecast, gust sends a notification. On Android it can check in the background. On iPhone it checks every time you open the app; background alerts there need the optional push server.
