HI All
What is the best boating weather site?
I usally look at seabreeze or BOM but they seem to contradict each other and
always give out high winds.
I know people are going out boating and the weather is ok.
So whats the best site?
Thanks

BOM and Ocean Outlook
G'day Rod
I use BOM and Ocean Outlook - but that's for my neck of the woods (Albany).
I've never seen any website dead accurate - would be nice wouldn't it.

BOM is pretty accurate
BOM is pretty accurate because they use weather stations on the coast and seabreeze updates a lot so you have to stay tuned into it to watch how thier predictions go...
As for high winds, well, its been true, its bloody windy! Whether or not you have a vessel that can hack it is another story tho :P And despite all this, there is still idiots going out in the high winds on tiny vessels, bloody crazy pricks.
Also, oceanoutlook is ok but i think its more made for windsurfers so it usually gives optimistic wind reports which end up higher than what is real... however, they all contradict eachother at times because they are still predictions

buoyweather for me
Everytime it says it will be shite it is pretty much spot on, but i still like to look at seabreeze or windguru and hope that buoyweather is wrong - never is just get wet

www.weatherzone.com.au And I
www.weatherzone.com.au
And I use the synoptic chart, and that normally gives you an Idea of wind direction.
