Our verdict on Windguru

Windguru focuses on forecasts for named weather spots, with particular attention to wind, waves and related conditions. It is aimed at people planning outdoor activities who need forecasts tied to a location rather than a general-purpose daily weather summary. The service has a free version, and Android users can access the website as a progressive web app (PWA), which the vendor recommends. The separate Windguru Old Android app remains listed, but its listing says it is no longer maintained or being developed.

Forecast coverage combines selectable time periods, from hourly intervals through multiple days, with forecast maps and wind and temperature map views. Sea-temperature maps and tide information are relevant for coastal use, while wind statistics and a historical archive provide context beyond the current forecast. The site also includes station observations and model coverage information. This breadth makes Windguru a more natural fit for wind- and water-oriented planning than for someone seeking a broad everyday weather app. Its value depends on whether named-spot forecasts and these specialized views match the activity.

The free version gives users a way to access the service, while the PRO subscription removes ads and unlocks additional forecasting features. That makes the paid tier relevant to users who need those extras, but the available description does not establish which specific features are PRO-only. Android use through the PWA also means the experience is not a listed maintained native app; users looking for a conventional Android app should account for that distinction. Choose Windguru for spot-specific wind and outdoor forecasts, maps, tides and historical context; consider a broader weather app if those focused tools are not central to your needs.
