What weather site do you use?


Which web site do you find to be the most accurate and user friendly? I am more interested in wind, swell, wave height, etc. than actual air temps.

I want this information more for fishing in Baja than surfing, etc.

I have used Wunderground and have been looking at Buoy Weather. Buoy Weather looks pretty good but they charge. I don't mind spending the $ if it's the most detailed and reasonably accurate.

Class, class, what say you?

Side note: Didn't really mean to get into some type of poll questions

NOAA Look for their aviation app for your phone. This is the source of everyone else data.

I am a landlubber so my opinion may not be relevant, however, Windytv is the most fun for me to use.

My complaint with that site is that several times they appear to have stuck with their forecast model, even after real time reports had shown the storm center had changed course.

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Unless their is a guvmint weather station nearby you are getting best guess data. Windyty the week we spent in BdeLA was going to be 10mph or less winds the entire week. One night it blew 25mph and three boats were reported to have lost their moorings. Its Baja and nothing is as it seems!
