WINDY APP VS Windfinder

Low wind is the key to my greatest paddles. I really like the Windy app. Mornings are generally more calm both for the water's surface and for fewer people up. 8am is generally my target time to be on the water. Source: 11 months ago

I recently bought Windy.app and found that my friend sailing is using Windy.com. They both seem to almost do the same thing, but I generally get a bit more sailing info from Windy.app. Not sure which are more accurate or if they do the same thing. Apparently Windy.com used to be windity or something, then windy.app came into play in 2015, then windity changed their name to windy.com in 2017 and it's confusing when... Source: about 1 year ago

A swimmer asked me the exact same question after I gave a talk recently on open water swimming around the Greek island of Crete. I start from Google Earth to measure the distances and check windfinder.com for the local wind conditions and forecasts. However, as I say in Crete Swim, "Avoid wishful thinking. Your swimming conditions are not what they are “supposed to be”—they are nothing more or less than what is... Source: 12 months ago

For no bullshit weather forecast: windfinder.com. I learned about it when I learned sailing. But since then I started using it as my standard weather website, because it gives you precise by-the-hour forecast for the next couple days without all the bullshit you have on usual weather websites.

Naxos should be nice! In July and August there may be days with strong winds from the north/northwest. The flatter water to swim in will be from beaches that are south-facing. You can check the current wind and forecasts at windy.com or windfinder.com. Often (but not always) the mornings are calmest and the wind will build in strength during the day.
