Real-time kite & surf intelligence for the Israeli coast.
Wind · Waves · Cameras · Rain Radar · Forecasts
GUSTON is a surf and kite intelligence dashboard for the Israeli Mediterranean coast. One page. No fluff. Everything you need to decide whether to rig your kite or leave it in the bag.
The name came from two places — a small gust, and the idea of a precise, always-reliable wind butler. GUSTON knows the conditions before you do.
