NZTiger 20 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Download WindDan, it uses the coastguard sources and is free. Someone told me about if after I had paid for the coastguard one. Agreed. WindDan is several levels above the coastguard app in terms of weather data. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 'Windy'...brilliant! Just looked at Windan, yet again, nothing above Dorkland! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 375 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 'Windy'...brilliant! Just looked at Windan, yet again, nothing above Dorkland! Pretty sure BoI, Cape Karikari, Cape Reinga, Hokianga, Kaipara, Tutukaka and Whangaruru are all north of Auckland/ Try clicking on 'Auckland' and selecting 'Northland' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Yep, before I get flamed found it all hiding under "northland"...(too much hooch!). Information overload! All these wind and weather apps, how often do they get it RIGHT!? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 255 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I've found Windy excellent. imho, 95% + - right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nagy592 21 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Even the free version of PW is enough, ECMWF works pretty good for me. Windy is a bit "bulky" on the phone screen, however awesome on a larger one. Should I go to specsaver? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dutyfree 170 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I use a few, Wind dan instead of the Coastguard app, and Predict Wind, plus i have a few of the others. I like Predict Wind as they have multiple models and you can get a feel for the potential forecast variances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markm 32 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 In answer to the question, no, back up and going today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Must admit, Winddan looks good, says tomorrow nice easterlies up the coast so away to Manganui after sun up. Will see how it goes compared to Windy and bloody met"service". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
