Garmin gWind Mast Head

The Garmin gWind Mast Head is the marine industry's gold standard for real-time wind data acquisition, engineered for serious cruisers, racing competitors, and commercial vessel operators who demand precision weather intelligence. This masthead unit sits at the apex of your rig, converting wind speed and direction into live telemetry that feeds your Garmin chartplotter or tactical display.

Whether you're racing in tight competition, planning offshore passages, or optimizing fuel consumption on a working boat, accurate wind data transforms decision-making from guesswork into science. This masthead transducer captures apparent and true wind readings through dual-axis sensing—measuring both wind speed and directional flow relative to your boat's heading and motion. The Garmin gWind Mast Head integrates seamlessly with Garmin's marine ecosystem via NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 networks, ensuring your wind data syncs instantly with autopilots, sail-trim apps, and integrated navigation displays.

The rugged marine-grade construction withstands salt spray, UV exposure, and sustained high-wind conditions, while the lightweight design minimizes windage and rigging strain—critical factors on racing hulls where every ounce and aerodynamic detail matters. The Garmin gWind Mast Head is compatible with all modern Garmin chartplotters and marine multifunction displays equipped with NMEA inputs, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofits on existing systems.
