  • Wind forecasts?

    What do you guys use to get wind forecasts? My go-to site fishweather.com is now useless without a subscription.

        I like www.windfinder.com. You can use the forecast (several days in advance) or the super forecast modes (hourly for the next day or two) to get wind projections. You can also get the tidal cycles and relative height over several days. They have one station in the Severn River, which is where I fish most often.

          probably not the best, but I just look at the hourly forecast on http://www.weather.com
          I usually make my final check the night before fishing and its been pretty accurate for me.

            Thanks guys.

            I'm glad they still have the old fishweather site up. I wonder how long they'll keep that backdoor open. I like the way I can see several days of wind forecasts at a glance. http://grab.by/iTMw.

            windfinder.com looks nice too, actually... same easy-to-read table format as fishweather, with the addition of cloud cover and pressure. nice, this may become my new go-to site. http://grab.by/iTNa

            I had never looked at the hourly forecast on weather.com. It definitely has the info too, though not as easy to read as the table-style forecasts. Good to know though. http://grab.by/iTOg

              I still use the fishweather site... the new one. I still get all the wind models I did on the old one. And I like the new mobile app! What is it that you don't like about it since the change?

                I can't find a way to see the wind tables http://grab.by/iTMw . I don't really like the maps/wind animations... it takes a really long time to get an overall idea of winds in the coming days. Looking at the tables, I can tell in just a few seconds when the winds are predicted to be low, and make my fishing decisions based on that.

                  Ahhh gotcha!!! Yeah I did like that too. the bar system is crunched together... the old way was a lot easier to read.
