SO Is it worth checking forescasts? Has anyojjne got data on how accurate they are? is there a link to a compare and contrast between forecasts and actual weather.

Basically should i stop being a seabreeze weather forecast junkie??

Depends on where your from. Most of us will say they are not accurate when we are amping up for super winds and are totally let down when they never arrive. However in reality they are actually quite accurate.

Here on the Sunny Coast, the graphs tend to over estimate the Southerlys and under estimate the northerlys. Its always good to combine this with the wind graphs from the BOM, synoptic charts, local knowlege, and the coastal waters forecast.

Using all technologies you will still get those days, when everything says there is going to be wind but sadly it just never arrives. Feel free to start abusing Laurie when this does happen although, bare in mind, on the days when we get wind, we also should be thanking laurie for preparing us!!!

The best thing about the forcasts is when seabreeze shows red arrows,
so you think,ok,no chance today,
then it blows the fleas off ya dog all day.
Gotta love the unexpected sessions.

But then again,
I think we have all sat down the beach for 6hrs because green arrows were shown,
and nothing comesYou know its not gunna come as predicted,but,you dont want to leave,,,, just in case.
Thats when I come home and start sticking pins into the spine of my Laurie vodoo doll. LOL[}:)][}:)][}:)]

For Melbourne, I usually find BOM substantially more accurate than Seabreeze.
However in the last few weeks, the forecast on this site was not too far off -did you guys change anything?
I should have trusted the Seabreeze forecast today, so I ended up driving all the way to Rosebud..
Who else had a fantastic session there? [}:)]

Always seabreeze for the here and now but, BOM forecast seems right more often than not. Windguru(google it) a bit negative seabreeze a bit positive, somwhere in the middle.

Over two years of kiting ive done you learn whats going on, the lows and highs and what happens when they bump into eachother, the synoptics is the one as said before. Watch it every day, quickly youll pick whats happening locally.

This said WA very predictable.
