Bloody forecast - what will it be?!
Submitted by dkonig82 on Thu, 2011-03-17 09:30
Contemplating a night fish tomorrow night, but the damned forecast is killing me!
Seabreeze is saying 11pm in Perth will be 18kn southerly, which wont be that pleasant.
Willyweather is saying SSW at 11pm of 4.3kn. Which if great.
Surely these websites dont each have their own monitoring stations everywhere, so presumably they are using the same data?
Who knows?!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

im still hoping for a fri night session
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

I am ready to nightfish with my fully lit up boat as well and can accomodate at least 1 extra fishing person.
(The ocean is like a pond at the moment!)
Yesterday it was like it is now at 3.30pm!

Was far from a millpond when we got down to Woodmans at 4pm this arvo. Ended up towing the boat back home and putting the tinny onto the Canning for a bream bash.
Seabreeze and Willy Weather were both understated by at least 8 knots... was kissing 16/17 knots at 4pm, not the predicted 7 knots.

If you look at the time I
I typed it, 10.57 am, explains the difference in ocean surface.
I can see the ocean from where i am and it is so often ,lately, totally different to what the website predicts as a forecast, sadly.
I look at the water, looking excelent, then check the forecast, it indicates worsening conditions, check what wind diection/strenght is at Rotnest and deceide; No good for boating.
Go and do something else, then later look at the pond and cannot believe how incorrect the forecast has been!
Missed many a great few hours of boating/fishing!!

It's driving me insane. Knowing all those Mackies are probably still around. But too messy to get out.
Love the West!

forecast......
Willy weather is very inaccurate we've found, BOM is more spot on for offshore winds and seabreeze well hit-n-miss but suits inshore winds.
