Hi, all,
I just wanted to share this web page for wind and weather prediction, which I found very useful.
http://www.windfinder.com/
Just enter your location, and it will bring up a map. Then click on any of the wind stations. Then you can select forecast, superforecast (best option, as it gives more detailed information), or report (which gives past data).
I compared it against real time data on SF Bay, and it is quite accurate.
Cheers,
Roger

Re: Windfinder
It even works down here, with more details than from most of these weather systems. Thanks for the link

I think it covers most of the world. When I first open it, it shows NorwayJohnCFI wrote:It even works down here, with more details than from most of these weather systems. Thanks for the link

Re: Windfinder
I like http://www.sailflow.com for this as well. Still looking for a decent app like this for the iPhone though.
