I'm planning on doing a bit of cruising down the coast soon and was wondering what most people use to track and monitor weather and waves. I haven't done much boating out of sheltered waters and I'm a bit paranoid about being caught out in bad weather. I'm looking for some kind of map view showing pressure zones and wind and wave info etc...

Can anyone recommend something for that?

Ah seabreeze is pretty good, MetEye is also on the money

a combo of windy.com and bom

Predict wind and Willy weather ........ but as they say winds could be up to 40% higher as also the swell , gotta love the BOM cya

Meteye which is run by thr Bureau of Meteorology I find is the best source for coastal cruising.

Yep, mainly MetEye for me but I'll also check WIlly for very local stuff & sometimes Windy - the more opinions the better. :)

Thanks heaps for all the suggestions! I've been using WillyWeather, BOM forecasts and the Windy App so far but will check out the others mentioned before my next trip out!

65nm and three bar crossings under my belt now! I'll have to start calling myself Captain Dale ;)
