Windfox displays current wind, weather & forecast data from Windfinder.com for your favorite surfspot in the firefox status bar. For more information hover over the statusbar and you will get a detailed tooltip with all weather data of that spot.
Another feature is the wind alert. In settings menu, you can adjust a wind speed threshold (static value or range) and a wind direction range on which you want to get informed.
If your defined conditions are met Windfox alerts you with a tiny flashing icon the statusbar that it's time to shutdown the computer and get to the beach.
