The Stoke Score

A verdict and a 0–5 star rating for every morning & afternoon window. It blends the wind signals that matter at each spot — local wind, thermal gradient, pressure differential, regional wind — each weighted by how much it actually drives the wind there. More stars = go.

3.5★ +Send It — prime window, book it
2.8 – 3.4★Worth It — solid session likely
1.8 – 2.7★Marginal — worth a peek on the way
under 1.8★Beach Day — stay home, train instead
