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

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.
