Weather

Jean is pretty good with his resources and I have had many conversations with him about our conditions. So I wanted to share this email that will hopefully benefit more than me. Now part of this email is to get the other resources that we all use on the table. So please leave your posts to contribute to a new section of the site.

My personal favorite:

http://www.ikitesurf.com/

I like the real time data generated by anemometers maintained and calibrated.
The forecasts are a little more reliable than other sources, but still need to
be
taken with a grain of salt. The big draw back is that they charge $100 a year.

All of the other sites mentioned below are free:

The forecasts are purely based computer models, so not very reliable but can
give you an idea.

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/Northeast.shtml

can be a good source for free real time data. I also like the wave heights
reading, so I can anticipate what size surf to expect, and sea surface
temperatures to gauge the amount of neoprene I should wear.

If you click around the interactive map, you can get NOAA marine forecasts for
wave heights, visibility, and wind strengths, and on land they will give you air

temperature ranges.

shows some appealing graphical information of modeling results. I have not
used this site much.

much like windguru

Hope this helps
