These are great sites for anyone interested in sea conditions. Probably saved me 4 days stuck on a beach as our local Met forecast gives just four days advance wind predictions. I keep those sites bookmarked and can get a thumbnail view early in the week of where I want to go on the weekend. Another good swell prediction site is: _http://www.wetsand.com/swellwatch/_ (http://www.wetsand.com/swellwatch/) It's modeled on the same information source, ie NOAA and the US Navy but is put down in a friendlier format that surfers like. There are predictions and surf reports so tab onto the region in your part of the world and click both the tabs for forecasts and reports. _www.wunderground.com_ (http://www.wunderground.com) has great features for getting weather forecasts, marine forecasts and they keep old information on the site so if you want to get a history of what happened when you paddled some place its possible to do so.
