KiteCast

KiteCast is a wind forecast app built specifically for kitesurfers who ride thermic sea breezes — the reliable afternoon winds that generic weather apps consistently under-read.

Most forecasts show you the gradient (synoptic) wind and miss the thermal that actually fills in on a sunny afternoon at spots like Akyaka / Gökova. KiteCast models the thermic diurnal cycle — how the breeze builds in the late morning, peaks mid-afternoon, and fades by evening — using sky clearness and solar heating, not just raw model wind.

FEATURES

Live wind — real-time wind speed, gusts, and direction straight from on-spot weather stations.

Thermal forecast — an hour-by-hour prediction tuned for sea-breeze spots, blending live measurements into the forecast as the day develops.

History — browse past wind so you can learn the patterns at your spot.

Wind alerts — get a push notification when conditions are lining up for a session, so you stop refreshing all afternoon.

Clean, glanceable design — a compass rose and clear knot readouts you can check in a second.

Primary spot: Akyaka / Gökova, Turkey — one of the most consistent summer thermal spots in the world. More spots included.

KiteCast is free, needs no account, and does not track your location.

Check the wind. Grab your kite. Go ride.
