Cost

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged $0.005 per spot scraped.

Tips

  • Wind speed is reported in knots (1 knot = 1.15 mph = 1.85 km/h).
  • Use superforecast for hourly resolution data (best for kitesurfing, sailing, paragliding planning).
  • Windfinder has 120,000+ spots including beaches, lakes, mountains, and airports.
  • For wave data, use coastal spots. Inland spots will have null wave heights.
