Wind, Waves data
I found this interesting so I'm sharing a link. Can't zoom in too close and I haven't figured out if there is a way to see the data driving the graphics (eg wind speed) but it is a cool graphical interface. If you click "earth" you are able to adjust settings, change from air speed/direction to waves, currents etc.
https://earth.nullschool.net/#curren....37,25.66,3000 Also, if someone is aware of a handy tool that's easy to use with regard to wind, waves, etc I'd be interested to know. Marine forecasts (marine.weather.gov) I've been using are OK when it comes to wind |

Re: Wind, Waves data
Yeah someone showed me windfinder a few days ago. I have the free version and plan to check its accuracy next time I'm out

What up, Bouy!

Re: Wind, Waves data
I use these two combined with Intellicast. Don't even bother with NOAA anymore
