About Windulu
Windulu was built by a kiter from the Netherlands. Out of frustration. Every session day started the same way: check Windguru, Windy alongside it, then the webcam, then the group chat. Four tabs to answer one question: can I get out today, and on which kite?
What Windulu does differently
Where other apps hand you data, Windulu hands you an answer. You set your weight, your level and your gear once, whether you kitesurf, wing foil or foil, and from then on every spot page translates the forecast into go, borderline or no-go, with the size right there, be it your kite or your wing. Safety is baked in, because offshore wind is always no-go, however hard it blows. And since you also want to know where to be once you reach the spot, the practical details are simply there: where you park, which webcam is up and how the beach sits relative to the wind.
Honest and independent
Windulu uses open data sources: Open-Meteo (weather models such as AROME, ICON-D2 and HARMONIE), the national weather services (KNMI/Buienradar, RMI, DWD, DMI) for live measurements and OpenStreetMap for maps and parking. There is no paid placement: no spot or school ranks higher because someone pays for it. Exactly how the advice is calculated is out in the open on the methodology page.
Where Windulu is heading
Windulu now covers over 140 spots in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and France, from the North Sea beaches and the Mediterranean to the inland lakes, and alongside kitesurfing it also handles wing foiling and foiling. On the inland lakes in particular, where kitesurfing is not allowed but wing foiling is, you can still find a place to ride. New spots, wind alerts and more countries are on the roadmap.
