Great Baja Weather site


Especially if you fish locally. Although this is more of a Sea forecast it will also give you an idea of the Coastal conditions.

I have about 50 sites for marine forecasts including some very good real time Hurricane weather satellite photo's and tracking info/forecasts if anyone is interested.

I have had this site for 2 years and its better than nothing. It was a bit better until recently when they cut the forcast down from 4 day to just 2 days. If you want better than that you have to pay. This site is frequently wrong, but I use it in conjuntion with several other weather and wind sites. Then I flip and coin and go fishing.

Actually that's partially correct. Prior to 2005 it wasn't always correct. However they have recently upgraded their resources and it's been quite accurate, thus the monthly or annual fee for just $70 and then you receive a 7-day forecast instead of the two days you see for free.

Most long range cruisers use this site for Baja and the mainland. It's also a world wide forecasting site. Just enter the part of the world you want to see and the weather is there. Especially if you're taking a Cruise ship vaction.

No weather forecast is perfect, but this site, one of many, gives the local residents and fishermen an idea of what to expect for winds and sea conditions.

If you fish a lot and don't mind the small fee, they will custmoize the weather for you......i.e. your local area. You just enter the Lat. & Long of the area you want a forecast and current conditions and you have it.

Just a site for those who may be interested........

Thanks for posting this link!

Lots of sites to trend from & compare are very useful. You'll need a thick skin for a bit and get used to "posting in the wind" until you find a few compadres. Hang in there and welcome to the pack!

Just a wee bone to pick - the site needs to correct Mexico's location to North America. Mexico is listed under "Central America" tab, which is, of course, incorrect.




When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

Loboron, a pair of professional slab hunters (big wave surfers) I know call buoyweather "Virtual Bob," and use it religiously. They say it blows doors on the surf-specific forecasters.
