Wind-powered segment hunting
Chase the wind.
Claim the crown.
Find Strava segments aligned with the wind, save them to your watchlist, and get alerted the moment conditions favour a KOM or PR.
How it works
Find, save, analyse, pace, attack
Five steps that turn a forecast into a KOM. Find the right segments, save them, learn the exact wind you need, plan your effort section by section, and let us tell you when it's coming.
Find segments worth attacking
KOM Finder mode scans segments around any location and dials in the ones that fit your strengths. Filter by distance, length, max KOM speed, popularity, surface, and terrain to build a shortlist of segments you can realistically take on.
- Search any location with an adjustable radius
- Filter by length, max KOM speed and popularity (hidden gems → well known)
- Narrow by surface (paved / unpaved) and type (flat / hilly / climb)
Segments you're watching — tap one to analyse, toggle the bell to manage alerts.

+17Build your KOM watchlist
One click to star a segment. Your watchlist is the shortlist we'll keep checking against the forecast — so the segments you actually care about never slip past you.
- Add segments from KOM Finder, search, or the map
- Set a custom tailwind threshold per segment
- Manage and re-analyse them anytime from the Segments page
Know exactly what wind you need
Enter your FTP and weight. We model your power on each segment and compute the exact effective tailwind required to beat the KOM at your fitness.
Pace it section by section
We split the segment into sections and assign each one a target power based on grade and the wind you'll meet there. Push on the climbs and headwind stretches, ease on the descents and tailwinds — all anchored on the power you can actually hold for the KOM.
- Per-section target power, grade and wind exposure at a glance
- Power and elevation overlaid so you can see where to spend matches
- Plan stays honest to your sustainable power — no fantasy splits

- Each alert shows the exact forecast time, wind, and KOM target
The engine
Powered by precise wind data
Every step above runs on the same two primitives: a per-segment effective tailwind reading and a 72-hour hourly forecast.
Effective tailwind, per segment
Every segment shows the wind component aligned with its bearing — in km/h or mph. Tailwind is green and positive, headwind is red and negative. No guesswork, just data.
- Real-time wind data updated every 15 minutes
- Color-coded map overlay
- Filter to show only tailwind segments
3-Day Wind Forecast
Plan your rides up to 72 hours ahead. Scrub through hourly forecasts to find the perfect window — when tailwind and conditions peak.
- Hourly wind forecasts for 3 days
- See direction, speed & temperature changes
- Find the optimal riding window
