Also try "iwindsurf.com" We use them both here in Mulege and they really can help.

I'm not really fond of bouyweather....My experience in Mulege is at best they are 50%.....best to crosscheck or call Pescador and ask which way the buzzards are flying

iwindsurf, sailflow and windalert.com all use the same computer model for wind predictions. I like theirs the best.

Buoy misses on their forecasts regularly, for my area of Sonora. Just yesterday, they predicted the final day of a tournament to be 12-17 kts from the WNW and it was 0-7kts from the south for most of the day. windalert nailed it. They HAD been predicting what buoy had predicted but changed their forecast overnight to the correct one. Buoy never updated theirs until much later in the day (long after fishermen leave port!) and was wrong.

Here is a link to Weatherflow's consumer products. Check them out and see which interface and predictors you prefer.

I do a weekly weather column for a website in San Carlos, Sonora. And I fish and own a boat. Also have a 20x30 vege garden. So, I do pay close attention to weather conditions and predictions and consider myself a bit of a weather wonk.
