The cycling wind app that turns invisible air into actionable data. Know if wind is pushing you forward or holding you back, right on your Garmin.
MOGUWIND takes live wind data and your GPS heading, then calculates exactly how air movement impacts your effort. The result is a single, intuitive screen that tells you everything without taking your eyes off the road.
Most cyclists train with power meters, heart rate monitors, and GPS. But wind — the single largest external force acting on a cyclist — is usually ignored. MOGUWIND changes that.
Riding into a 25 km/h headwind can feel like climbing a 3% gradient. Without knowing wind direction, you might push too hard on the way out and have nothing left for the return. MOGUWIND lets you plan effort based on real-time wind conditions, not just feel.
Ever held 200 watts and barely moved at 22 km/h, then later cruised at 35 km/h on the same power? Wind is the answer. MOGUWIND gives you the headwind and tailwind numbers so you can stop guessing why your speed doesn't match your effort.
Strong lateral gusts are dangerous, especially on exposed roads, bridges, or descents. The crosswind indicator warns you about sideways wind force before it catches you off guard, so you can adjust your grip and positioning.
On long rides and sportives, knowing where the wind comes from helps you decide when to sit in the group, when to pull, and which direction to take at a fork. Ride with the wind, not against your own plan.
Every element on the screen is optimized to be read in under a second while riding. No menus, no scrolling, no distractions.
A large directional arrow that tracks wind relative to your heading. Green for favorable tailwind, red for opposing headwind, orange for lateral crosswind. Intensity lines (1-4) indicate wind strength from light breeze to extreme gusts.
Precise numeric breakdown of how wind splits along and across your direction. The H/T value shows effective resistance or assistance. The CROSS value reveals lateral force. Both update every second and use your preferred speed unit.
True wind speed is not what you feel on the bike. MOGUWIND combines meteorological wind with your cycling velocity to compute apparent wind — the actual air resistance your body experiences. Critical for aerodynamic positioning decisions.
An auto-rotating overlay that briefly replaces the arrow to display upcoming conditions. For each of the next three hours, you see wind direction, wind speed, temperature, and rain probability with color-coded urgency. Know what's coming before it arrives.
Optionally display your speed, 3-second average power, heart rate, and cadence directly on the MOGUWIND screen. Consolidate your most important data into one field so you don't need to swap screens mid-ride.
Every second of wind data is recorded into your FIT file. After the ride, open Garmin Connect to see headwind/tailwind graphs, crosswind charts, wind speed over time, and session-level summary statistics. Analyze your rides like never before.
When you ride at 30 km/h into a 10 km/h headwind, you experience 40 km/h of air resistance. But a weather app only shows 10 km/h. That gap is what makes pacing on windy days so difficult.
MOGUWIND calculates apparent wind by combining the true meteorological wind vector with your cycling speed and direction. The result is displayed as the AW value on screen — the real air speed your body is cutting through.
This is especially useful for time trialists and riders focused on aerodynamic efficiency. When apparent wind is high, tucking lower saves more watts. When it drops, you can afford a more comfortable position.
MOGUWIND writes detailed wind metrics into your activity's FIT file. When you sync to Garmin Connect, the data appears automatically alongside your power, heart rate, and speed.
A continuous graph showing positive values when you faced headwind and negative values during tailwind sections. Overlay it with your power data to see how much harder you worked into the wind versus with it.
Track lateral wind force throughout your ride. Identify the most exposed segments of your route — useful for planning future rides or understanding why certain sections felt unstable.
Total wind speed recorded every second. Compare wind conditions across different days and routes to understand how weather patterns affect your training and performance.
At-a-glance numbers for the entire ride: percentage of time in headwind, percentage in tailwind, average headwind intensity, and average crosswind. Finally, a way to quantify how windy your ride actually was.
Long rides mean changing conditions. A sunny start can turn into rain and shifting winds two hours later. MOGUWIND's built-in forecast gives you a preview of what's ahead without pulling out your phone.
The forecast auto-rotates into view at a configurable interval — every 15 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, or two minutes. It stays on screen for your chosen duration (3 to 10 seconds), then returns to the wind arrow. During forecast display, the screen shows a clean table with three rows — one for each upcoming hour.
MOGUWIND doesn't depend on a single weather provider. It combines Garmin Weather and OpenWeatherMap to keep wind data fresh and accurate throughout your ride.
Works out of the box with zero configuration. Garmin Weather delivers wind speed, direction, and temperature directly to your device through your paired phone. No API keys, no accounts, no setup. Just install MOGUWIND and ride.
For riders who want faster refresh intervals or a secondary data source, MOGUWIND supports OpenWeatherMap. Enter a free API key in the settings and the app will use whichever source has the freshest data. The current source is always shown on screen so you know where your wind data comes from.
Every cyclist has different priorities. MOGUWIND lets you configure exactly what you see and how you see it.
Adjust the compass direction, headwind/crosswind values, primary labels, and small labels independently. Each has Small, Medium, and Large options so you can prioritize the data that matters most to your riding style.
Show or hide headwind/tailwind, crosswind, apparent wind, speed, power, heart rate, cadence, and the weather forecast. If you only want the arrow and nothing else, you can do that. If you want everything, that's available too.
Speed in km/h, mph, m/s, or knots. Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Interface text in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Bahasa Indonesia, Japanese, or Chinese.
"Useful app. I ride in flat areas with constant wind and now I can see why some days feel harder than others. The arrow is easy to read without stopping."
"Good data field. The H/T number finally explains why my speed drops on certain road sections even when my power stays the same. Wish the font was a bit bigger by default."
"Tried a couple of wind apps before this one. MOGUWIND is the cleanest and it's free, which is nice. Does what it says without overcomplicating things."
"I do long rides in Patagonia and the wind there is no joke. The crosswind indicator is handy for exposed stretches. Helped me adjust my pacing on a few occasions."
"The apparent wind calculation is a nice addition. I do TTs and it helps to know the real air resistance, not just what the weather station says."
"I use it as my main screen on the Edge 840. Being able to see power and HR alongside wind data saves me from flipping through pages during rides."
"Commuting in Copenhagen, wind matters more than you'd think. Now I have a quick reference on my handlebar. It's become part of my daily routine."
"The Garmin Connect graphs are a nice touch. After the ride you can actually see how much of it was into headwind. Makes sense of those days where you feel wrecked but the distance was short."
"Appreciate the Japanese language support. I ride coastal roads in Hokkaido and the forecast overlay is practical for knowing when conditions will shift."
"Installed it on a few Edge units for our junior team. It's been good for teaching them about pacing. They can see the headwind number instead of just feeling like the ride is hard."
"I ride gravel in the outback where there's zero shelter. The wind lines on the arrow give a quick idea of intensity. Handy, though sometimes the data takes a while to update."
"Simple and clean. I also tried it on my Fenix 7 while running. Works fine. Would be nice to have more data on elevation wind in future versions."
"I ride 300km brevets and knowing wind direction helps with planning effort and food stops. Not a revolutionary tool, but a consistently useful one on long days."
"My wife started cycling recently and she picked up the green/red arrow right away. She uses it to decide which loop to do around our area."
"Living near the Brittany coast, I deal with wind on almost every ride. Nice to have it all on one screen instead of checking my phone before heading out."
"Didn't expect much from a free app but it's been solid on my Edge 1040 for a couple of months now. No crashes, data seems accurate. It just works."
"Having 3-second power next to wind info is practical for training. Helps me tell the difference between an off day and just riding into wind."
"Runs well on my Edge 530. The font size options are appreciated since the default was a bit small for me. Bumped it up and now I can read it easily."
"I ride in Mallorca every spring and the wind shifts depending on which coast you're on. It's become a useful reference when picking routes in the morning."
"Well laid out. You can tell the developer actually rides because the information is placed where you'd want it. Nothing feels like an afterthought."
"Flat plains, no hills, just wind. Having the headwind number on screen made a slow 18 km/h ride feel a lot less frustrating when I saw it was 30+ km/h against me."

Yes, completely free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. Download it from Garmin Connect IQ and use every feature at no cost.
MOGUWIND works best when your Garmin device is paired with your phone via Bluetooth, as this is how weather data reaches the device. If you lose phone connection mid-ride, the app continues using the last received weather data and shows you how old it is.
Wind data comes from professional meteorological services through Garmin Weather or OpenWeatherMap. Accuracy depends on your proximity to weather stations and how quickly conditions change. The data age indicator on screen always shows you how fresh the current reading is.
The arrow points in the direction the wind is blowing towards, relative to your heading. Arrow pointing up means wind is pushing you from behind (tailwind). Arrow pointing down means wind is hitting your face (headwind). Arrow pointing sideways means crosswind.
MOGUWIND is designed as a cycling data field, but it works on any Garmin activity that provides GPS heading. Runners with compatible Forerunner or Fenix watches can use it during outdoor runs.
No. MOGUWIND works with Garmin Weather by default, which requires no configuration at all. The OpenWeatherMap option is available for users who want a secondary data source or faster refresh rates.
Just sync your ride as usual. MOGUWIND automatically records wind data into the FIT file. In Garmin Connect, scroll to the MOGUWIND section of your activity to see graphs and summary statistics.
