spvone - 29-4-2009 at 04:24 AM

specifically for the SF bay area/ central coast/ inland area. i mainly use wunderground and local news websites for current weather conditions. i know there are are other resources out there somewhere. surfline and ikitesurf/ iwindsurf are awesome im sure, but i am a cheap bastard... id rather spend my money on gear. and i know there are free resources out there somewhere. NOAA? thanks yall!

NOAA has some good utilities as well.
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/phi/
Use that link and enter in the city. Then you can click on the graphical representation near the bottom and get all kinds of good information.
Hope that helps!

This one is pretty cool and works okay on cell phones.

This link will bring up the buoy off the coast of Bodega Bay. Do a search and see what buoy off your favorite coast riding spot...providing it is not off limits because of the darn plovers!

I like http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sfc_con_wspd.html for the wind speed and http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sfc_con_stream.html for the direction.

Windmapper.com is great. However it goes down from time to time and that gets fustrating.
