How it works

Each cell shows a verdict and a score (in brackets). The score reflects how many favourable conditions are met — higher is better.

Verdicts: EXCELLENT (score ≥5) · GOOD (≥3) · POSSIBLE (≥2) · MARGINAL (≥1) · NO-GO (hard gate failed or 0)

Score points: +2 wind direction in optimal window · +1 acceptable direction · +2 wind speed in sweet spot · +1 flyable speed · +1 no low stratus (thermals only) · +1 CAPE/BLH bonus (thermals only)

Ridge and ground handling sites use civil twilight to determine the flyable period (varies by season: ~07–15 UTC in winter, ~02–21 UTC in summer). Each hour is checked individually; consecutive flyable hours form windows. A day can have multiple windows (e.g. a morning calm slot + an evening slot). The cell shows the best window's verdict; hover for all windows.

Ridge sites are assessed on wind direction and speed only (cloud cover is irrelevant for ridge soaring).

Ground handling: hard gates: wind ≥3 m/s, gusts ≤9 m/s, no precipitation, direction in allowed range. Score: +1 wind OK · +1 direction OK · +1 sweet spot 4–7 m/s · +1 smooth gusts ≤5.5 m/s · −1 gusty >7 m/s. Stroomi requires NW (280°–320°), Kakumäe requires S–N via W (180°–360°), Harku any direction.
