An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Windfinder is good as a specialized tool for sailors and surfers, but wind and wave accuracy has degraded over recent years and is now reliable in roughly half of cases. Not for anyone who just needs basic temperatures.

What people use it for

Sailors, surfers, and boat owners

What reviews praise

No trip on the water without it: it picks the best days well and keeps routes free of surprises.

What reviews complain about

Wind speed and direction increasingly diverge from reality, and wave height disappeared from several locations after the last update.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Windfinder says delta is 8 mph , it was 24 mph, ocean said 5 ft by 20 seconds swell, it was 7 ft by 7 seconds… SUCKS
The app is wrong about the wave height and and MPH the wind is blowing about 40% of the time. When I use this app I will also try and talk to people that have been hitting the lake recently for love updates.
