Wind Prediction Site

My condo-mate in NC at the recent Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament does regular yacht deliveries up and down the Eastern seaboard. He swears by windy.com as a tool to predict the wind and sea conditions. I've played with it a little bit so far and it does seem very accurate. One of the coolest aspects is the ability to slide the calendar ahead to predict winds at a particular spot for the selected date. They also have a phone app which I haven't downloaded yet.

Just another arrow in the quiver. 'Cause we all know NOAA isn't the most accurate. :wink:

That's pretty cool, drag over to TX and click through the next week and imagine sitting under a Tropical system for a week!

I downloaded it, can't find the wind speed. Neat little graphic, but no numerical wind speed

Not sure about the app, but on the web site if you mouse over a point, the data pops up.
