Where these windows come from
Every window above was published by somebody else. We put it next to the tide and the forecast; we did not decide it. If you are hiring, the people you hire from will know the day’s conditions better than any forecast does.

About the wind figures
The wind here is a forecast for ten metres above the ground, on a grid whose cells are wider than the gaps between these places — so neighbouring locations often share one figure. It is not a measurement at the water’s edge, and it knows nothing about shelter behind the dunes or how much harder it blows further out.
