Wind Website

[Cutler]

Chris came by my store yesterday and pulled this website up.....he said it is very accurate on the seven day forecast for the wind. I know it is for windsurfers and will not reflect how the wave/winds are out on the 50, but at least you will know how the ride out is going to be
hope you guys find some good use for it.

shit....the color graph didnt come up.
click on the site. I'm sure Buck can add it to his weekly updates if it is on interest to anyone.

[cmfish]

It's about as accurate as other sites... but its nice that it has the 7 day outlook. Here's the graph that Cutler was trying to post.

I also use this site...

One of the young students here could keep track of the different predictions,
24 hrs, 48 hrs, ... 120 hrs from the various sites and then see how well they did vrs the measured FWY1 winds, good science fair project. cheers, arthur

Even though he has completed his 7 years of college and is no longer a student This project has SnooknReds name written all over it

ah, welcome Chris lol
