What is the best site for getting coastal weather forecasts? I am trying to find out what the conditions will be like down there tomorrow.
Thanks
For wave forecasts

reef cast is really nice, you need to sign in but it’s free
for wind forecasts
http://www.windalert.com/#search
you can look at all the different weather models and it has a marine chart.
Thanks guys, just what I was looking for.
in addition to the above, here are a few weather and fishing related things i check on a daily basis. hope you’re coming down today- it’s a perfect fall day in the lowcountry!
for wind report and forecast, especially click on the folly gauge and look at the map below. map can be clicked and dragged forward and back, gives hourly direction and intensity forecast, along with NWS forecast for reference

It was a beautiful day for sure. The only problem was that we found no shrimp and could not find any bait in the creeks so there was no “catching” going on. Still, a day spent on the water is never wasted.
