User Reviews
I use this for wing boarding and sailing in the bay. Love how simple and easy it is
This is the best app out there for SF Bay marine weather and tide information. I’ve used it every day for a decade or so.
outage right now with their host, total server solutions, llc. big red flag warning coming so need critical info. i depend on this app and i know the sailing community can help. how can we help?
I have used this app for a couple months, and have never seen any reports for Angel Island. Is their weather station out of service? Otherwise, I like this app and use it frequently.
As a keen amateur yachtsman and racer in the SF Bay this is my go-to app for wind and tides.
And good.
I sail every weekend. And I have a lot of very fancy apps with very fancy graphs and very fancy bells and whistles, but wind and tides is the app I come back to over and over again, because when you are out on the water simplicity is king. One click, one glance, and I know everything I need to know. Thanks gents!
This app is simple to use and is exactly what's needed for a day sail on the Bay. My instructor introduced me to it and I have using it ever since. Highly recommended.
This app has not been working for more than 10 days. It is impossible to get windspeeds from any part of the app. Be very careful before you spend even one cent.
Great app. Use it all the time. Only wish the wind monitoring station on Angel island would get fixed.
