I just found this then. Apparently its a new addittion to their website.

Probably helpful to someone that cant read an isobar chart.

Great general overview for people who don't know isobar charts(me). Will probably stick with seabreeze for current predictions and updates. My eyes arn't good enough for those little arrows.

Public domain now, and about time. They've had that map for some years now but only available to subscribers who pay for it. It's a pretty standard concept used in a lot of countries, not to mention other windsports websites.

So laurie, any clue on who's taking the seabreeze graphics yet? I've seen similar graphs to the ones on seabreeze with the arrows at my work...but no seabreeze logo.

I've used this www.metvuw.com/ for wind and rain charts for the south pacific when I go for vacation and want to know what to bring. It was pretty much spot on when I went to New Cal.

Not sure .. I hear that a lot of the sailing clubs get stuck in to publishing the graphs .. we built a custom 3-day forecast chart which was used on a surf show on Channel 31 for a while, which was a buzz.

The BoM have done a terrific job with those wind charts, and they are a terrific bunch of people as well. We've had the texta's out and been working on some colourful charts .. hoping to get them online before many more juicy swells come along, but time keeps slipping away, especially with things like that dartboard low approaching the coast this week (in WA)!
