WINDWAZE
An innovative and unique wind monitor, showing the compass direction and speed of the wind.
“Know the wind - sleep peacefully!”
A smarter way to monitor the wind
Windwaze measures compass wind direction independently of the boat’s heading. By combining ultrasonic wind sensor technology with an electronic compass, it delivers precise, real-time wind data without mechanical wear.
Key features
Ultrasonic wind measurement for high accuracy
Compass wind direction regardless of bow orientation
Wind shift and wind speed alarm
Displays true compass heading
No moving parts – maintenance free
Extremely low power consumption
THE APP
All operation and user interaction take place through the Windwaze smartphone app.
The main screen displays, among other things, the current connection status to the sensor.
Below that, you can select the wind display mode:
In “Moored” mode, the app displays current wind data directly from the sensor.
In “Underway” mode, the app calculates true compass wind direction and speed by compensating for the yacht’s movement, based on GPS position data from the phone. Course and speed are calculated using a 60-second running average to provide an accurate result.
The compass rose provides a graphical representation of the yacht’s compass heading, using a boat icon, and the wind direction, shown by a red arrow.
Below the compass rose, the current wind speed, wind direction and yacht heading are displayed as numerical values.
A graph showing wind speed over the past hour helps you identify trends. Is the wind increasing or decreasing?
At the bottom of the screen, you will find links to:
Map: Opens the map view (see below).
Sensors: Connects to and displays the status of sensors within range.
Settings: Allows you to configure wind alarm parameters (speed and direction), switch to dark mode (to avoid glare at night), change the wind speed unit (m/s or knots), and adjust other settings.
MAP VIEW
See where your yacht is pointing — not just where it is.
Windwaze shows your yacht’s actual heading, something GPS alone cannot do without the yacht being in motion.
The red arrow shows wind direction, while the averaged wind speed is displayed at the bottom.
Designed for peace of mind at anchor
A sudden wind shift in the middle of the night can turn a peaceful anchorage into a concern.
Windwaze continuously monitors wind direction and strength and alerts you only when conditions change beyond your chosen limits — so you can rest undisturbed and react when it truly matters.
…or moored
When moored to shore with the anchor set, you can use the Heading value to monitor the yacht's orientation. If the wind shifts and increases, a constant heading indicates that the anchor is holding. This allows you to keep an eye on the yacht's position even when you are below deck or resting in your bunk.
Additional advantage
When anchored or moored, you can switch off your navigation systems to save battery power. Windwaze continues operating autonomously, keeping you connected to live wind conditions.
Note the distinction: Forecasts uses models to predict what should happen; Windwaze uses reality to tell you what is happening.
