I've been kiteing in Sydney a fair bit over the last month and been pretty confused when sea breeze is showing a very different forecast to the BOM site. And usually the BOM has been spot on yesterday was another example of seabreeze prediction being wrong... Last year Seabreeze seemed to get it right are they using a different source for info??

i would say so as BOM always seem to have a better prediction than seabreeze but seabreeze have a better forcast when it comes to about a week in advance.

seabreeze uses a computer model from pressure gradients, i.e. no local affects. BOM forecasts for commonly known local affects, i.e. seabreeze and gully winds. I.e. IRonically.. seabreeze does not forecast the seabreeze

p.s. that's why they can do a 7 day wind forecast. BOM don't bother because they know anything over 3 days is complete B.S.

Thought it was to witty to be Pat's



BOM are always about 3-5 kts overestimated I reckon. Plus their forums don't have anywhere near as much laffs. I mean synoptic gags just don't cut it.
