Windyty dot com

I did a search for "windyty" and didn't get any hits so decided to share this site I recently stumbled onto with my fellow wind watchers.

Main Page: https://www.windyty.com/?surface,wind,now,38.000,-97.000,4

Wind Map centered on Hobie HQ: https://www.windyty.com/?surface,wind,now,33.196,-117.125,8

What shows if you search for Oceanside, CA (Hobie HQ): https://www.windyty.com/spot/location/33.196/-117.379/name/Oceanside?surface,wind,now,33.196,-117.125,11

When you do a search the detail map comes up which does not show any overlays. I haven't figured out what to click to make it change to the wind overlay, but this awkward method works: Click the "what shows if you search..." link above then Click the white ">" on the red background to close details, now change the last two digits of the URL from 11 to 8 and press enter - that will bring you to the wind map overlay. Seems to work for any location you search for, not just Oceanside.

More information about the site can be gleaned from the links at the top right corner of the page.

You can bookmark where you are and come back to that map.

I had not seen this version, but have used http://hint.fm/wind/

I snapped a screen shot during Hurricane Sandy that was pretty cool. You can see some history images on their site. http://hint.fm/wind/gallery/oct-30.js.html
