If you are on the coast and are going sal****er the NOAA site also has
up real time reports you can pull from the weather buoys. Wave height,
duration, wind speeds, gusts, pressure, etc. You can also access
historical data on the buoys.

I never pay any attention to those; they're never right on the Bay. Of
course, it is so churned up by so many boats, who really knows what the
wave heights would be.

Before I go out, I check the flags in the neighborhood.


I've found that this wave height predictor is spot on most of the time:

Here's the link for the Mid-Atlantic:

(Remember that the date/time is Zulu time).

Fortunately where I boat and fish it takes really drastic weather changes to
make it dangerous.

That is a great source, however......

I have found that no one source is truly reliable...... since
everyone here is so politically charged, perhaps you will find the
analogy reasonable; that I wouldn't base any one offshore trip on the
assurances of either PBS or FOX.....

Thus, I offer the following sources:

http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/
http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/p...er=accuweather

I suggest digesting the three (or more) and making an informed
judgment based upon your experience, skill level, and the capability
of your boat, such that you can make an informed decision. Binary
thinking aboard a boat is an excellent way to get killed... and take
your passengers with you.

Unfortunately, the greatest disservice done to this newsgroups is the
political good guys vs the bad guys mentality.... in another word
binary thinking.

The weather is either good enough to go out, or it's not. Binary thinking.
