Description

The Vic Wind app provides accurate and reliable weather observation and forecast information across Victoria and more recently all other Australian states (including South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania).

Most data presented in the app is sourced from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

Vic Wind displays real time sea and land wind observations, as well as current air and sea temperatures, tide and sunrise and sunset information. The app also allows you to configure wind notifications so you can be notified when it's windy, or not. Never miss a session or the perfect conditions for your activity.

Recently tides have been enhanced to show a 2 week tide forecast outlook for your chosen location.

A Weather page displays a 7-day weather forecast for a specified location also.

Vic Wind app is great for windsurfers, kite-surfers, sailors, surfers, SUPers, wingers, fishermen, swimmers, snorkelling, cyclists, hikers, golfers and all other individuals involved in outdoor activities and those interested in Victoria’s weather conditions.

Bay Temperature is incorrect, doesn’t get updated regularly

Great App

Warwick Lee on

I have too many hobbies...... Surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddle boarding, foil boarding & snowboarding .....and then some more. This is my go to app every time! Have recommended it to so many people. Power to Vic Wind! Thanks.

No NSW Coverage

PeterOwensBabylon on

Looks like an awsome app but only after you subscribe do you find out there is no NSW coverage, in spite of the blurb stating that “all other Australian states” are now covered. For those in Vic - for who it was designed Im sure 5 stars, for those in NSW 1 or even 0.

Not sure why I know have to pay

Allan Keane on

Loved this app and used it most days, however can’t justify paying for it now. Especially given all the information is available for free in other apps or sites.

Payment

DMMMMM...... on

Since when do we need to pay a subscription for this App?

Surf check

AnimatCobra76 on

I use vicwinds as a quick live reference of winds for surfing.

Very useful site

NikWind on

VIC Wind app is a very resourceful site where updated information could be found in a reliable manner. Only basic knowledge is required to navigate the site. It is also important to follow the right beacon to get the most relevant information location wise. Also, like most things in real world, weather forecasts should be taken with a little bit of caution, as weather conditions change quickly in this particular corner of the continent.

BOM is always right ... somewhere

JJ-123456789 on

Excellent thank you. MetEye doesn’t work on my iPhone but VicWind does and seems to give the same info ?? We sail on Port Phillip ie Melbourne but the BoM’s forecast is a Gale Warning ... somewhere on the Bay. VicWind gives us a more definitive indication of where the wind strengths are, allowing us to go sailing with more confidence about the variable and quickly changing conditions at 38 South. Would you please add isobars :) It would be nice to compare those synoptic 4 day forecasts and see how they are tracking. Cheers jj

Great

Terrific app

MatthewFlinders on

I love the alert feature for wind speed in my area. Custom tweak & sent straight to my Apple Watch for quick notifications.
