Hunting Forecasts Breakdown
Hunting Weather Forecasts
Get current and forecasted weather conditions for any location. Understand sunrise and sunset times, barometric pressure, precipitation, and moon phases to prep for your next hunt or make in-field pivots based on changing weather patterns. Easily view weather at any point on the map, or tap a Waypoint to quickly reference current and future conditions at that location.
Wind Calendars
View Wind Direction, set Optimal Wind Conditions, and view the wind direction forecast at the location of any Waypoint on your map. Turn on the Wind Calendar to view the forecasted wind speed and direction at the location of your Waypoints that have Wind Direction turned on. The Wind Calendar shows the wind forecast for the next week. Knowing upcoming wind patterns helps you plan your approach to the day’s hunt.
Optimal Wind Monitoring
Use the Optimal Wind Direction capability in onX Hunt to indicate the ideal wind direction for any point on your map, allowing you to visualize with a quick glance if the wind direction is in your favor. Understanding optimal wind allows you to make the right call on which tree stand to use on a given day, which direction to stalk from, and so much more.
Wind Comparisons
Compare wind forecasts at multiple different Waypoints in a central location with the Wind Comparisons Tool. This quick side-by-side allows you to easily review all your options at a glance and efficiently make a decision for the day based on wind conditions at various points. Whether you’re sitting or stalking, wind plays a factor, and knowing all your options can make or break a day.
Being able to predict weather and wind down to the hour when I’m whitetail hunting is huge. I have moon times and hourly pressure changes as well as wind direction and speed right at my fingertips through the App. I’m always looking for things that give me that little bit of edge when it comes to odds on mature bucks, and this has become a huge part of that on a daily basis.

Hunters rely on wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, and precipitation for planning and executing a hunt. Knowing how wind direction might change by the hour, or if barometric pressure is rising or falling, or if rain will worsen or turn into a drizzle helps a hunter pick the best hunting spots, pack the right gear, and make in-the-moment adjustments to their tactics based on current and forecasted weather conditions.
