What each kind of wind costs you, and what it adds up to over the whole ride.
Rain timed along your route, so you know if it hits at the start or the last 10 km.
Light rain from about 9:00pm, near km 25. Leave earlier to stay dry.
Free scores the next 3 days. Pro scores 14, hour by hour.
Illustrative scores for one ride, showing the best hour each day. Not a live forecast.

Why riders trust the score
It started in the windy Netherlands, after the same route felt like two different sports in back-to-back weeks. Now it scores rides worldwide. Read our story

Tailwind has become my go-to app for creating routes for my club. Initially it was just fun to understand what weather is coming up, but now we use it to make sure we end on a tailwind.
Tailwind is excellent for bikepacking and longer routes that span over longer periods. It really has made a difference helping me avoid bad weather by just an hour or so. Highly recommend.
I really like the navigation element that lets me know when I'm about to hit long stretches of headwind or tailwind. Also not many apps allow you to create, save and track routes for free, especially not this easy.
