Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

sailflow has been great for me
Sailflow is good IMO. I do check bouy weather 2 days out, 1 day out, and morning of. I find it’s usually very good.
Wind direction is important still to remember despite what those sites tell you. NE is gonna suck pretty much everytime. Always blows harder then what anything calls for

It important to realize what you are asking. When you say “other sources” other than NOAA " it leads me to believe that you don’t know exactly what you are looking at since there are no free data sources other than NOAA. Additionally, every other site mentioned gets there data from NOAA or more specifically NCEP. The differences are which model is used to produce your wind forecast, when the model, was initialized, and whether you are looking at a point forecast or a zone. There are a lot of subtleties that the lay person simply writes off as “this one sucks” due to poor performance on any particular day. If you are a subscription member of sailflow you receive access to more models and to proprietary model data (WRF-2km resolution over many regions), you would like we can meet and I can give you a a run down on the free data that is out there or maybe it’s time for another seminar at haddrels in West Ashley. Is there interest from several members here?? If I get 6 replies I will call Scott and set one up again. Always feel free to PM me with any questions.

I would love to attend a seminar. I would have to plan for it though, as i now live in Chapin. Please let me know if you decide to do one. Thanks.

I’m in for a seminar on a week night
Reef cast is a pain in the balls to login to. Anyone got a link…?
A seminar? on how to read the weather?
a seminar for the lay person on how to understand the free forecast tools available on the internet. What they are what they mean and the differences/strengths/weaknesses of them.
Im in for it. Thanks again for the info

I don’t fully trust any of them more than 6 hours out. I’ve seen a 5-10 forecast at 10:00 PM end up 15-20 north east the next morning.
