Which wind model is most accurate?
-
Hi, we pay for your premium edition and therefore get six different wind models. I kite surf just north of Los Barriles in front of the Playa Norte RV park. The coordinates are 23.70232 and - 109.69925. Which wind model is most accurate for this location? Your answer would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

@DBabs
The Observation vs forecast feature allows you to compare the reported wind at a weather station and the forecasts by the different models.
There is no weather station in Los Barilles, but there is one a bit south. You see that Meteoblue is the best model for predicting wind speed at this location.
Meteoblue model is not shown as a map layer because it is a non-gridded model. It is available in the Basic detailed forecast panel

@idefix37 thank you so much for getting back to me! Your comments are very helpful.
I was trying to find the observation versus forecast feature in the app and wasn’t able to find it. Can you let me know where to find this feature? I also noticed the picture that you sent me that the M blue had a green dot Side. I am assuming that means that the app believes that to be the most accurate as indicated by the green dot?

Hey @DBabs
The green dot is just a differentiator for the graph. To see the reported wind, find "Reported wind" in the menu. Then click on any station on the map.
