The best wing foiling today
267 spots ranked by wind. We reward steady 15 to 30 km/h breeze, swell optional, updated every 3 hours.
Weather data from Open-Meteo, refreshed every 3 hours.
How the score works
Every spot gets a composite score out of 10 using a multiplicative penalty chain, compressed with an adaptive gamma exponent. The wind speed base is multiplied by each factor, then safety-capped, so a single soft factor never sinks an otherwise firing day.
This is the engine. Prime is 15 to 30 km/h, usable from roughly 12 to 40 km/h. Below 12 there is not enough power; far above 40 it gets unruly.
Steady breeze beats gusty breeze. Big swings between lulls and gusts make the wing hard to load, so smooth pressure earns the better score.
Cross and cross-shore directions are safest and most rideable. Straight offshore is penalised for the risk of being blown out to sea.
Wing foiling does not need swell. The foil rides above the chop, so flat water and small waves are both prime. Only big, dangerous seas pull the score down.
Frequently asked questions
How often is this updated?
Every 3 hours when the conditions cron runs. We pull fresh wind, gust, swell, tide, and visibility data for every spot and recalculate the wing foil score.
How is the wing foil score calculated?
An eight-factor multiplicative penalty chain compressed with an adaptive gamma exponent. The wind speed base (0-10) is multiplied by gust consistency, wind direction, sea state, tide safety, rain, and visibility factors. The adaptive gamma stops one soft factor from sinking an otherwise firing day.
Does wing foiling need waves?
No. Wing foiling is a wind sport, so the score is driven by breeze rather than swell. Flat water and small waves are both prime, because the foil rides above the chop. Only large, hazardous seas count against the day.
What wind range is best?
Prime is 15 to 30 km/h of steady breeze, with usable conditions from roughly 12 up to 40 km/h. Below 12 there is rarely enough power to get up on foil; well above 40 it becomes a survival session.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo Marine and Weather APIs. Wind speed, gusts, direction, swell, visibility, and precipitation for every spot. Tide position from harmonic predictions.
Are these the same spots as the surf leaderboard?
Yes, the same surf spots ranked by a completely different, wind-first formula. A windy flat-water day that scores poorly for surf can be a prime wing foil session.
