Development of a Community-Driven Real-Time Wind and Water Sport Conditions App

Water sports enthusiasts face difficulties accessing reliable wind and water conditions due to inaccuracies in traditional forecasts, limited visibility from webcams, and poorly positioned on-site measurement tools. This impacts planning and safety, limiting user confidence and community engagement.
