I know this would have been discussed before, but:

What are the most reliable forecasts for say Perth. I have checked BOM local waters and it is totally different to Seabreeze.

Edit: I love the live wind feeds and graphs on seabreeze to what has been / is happening - but what is the best source for the afternoon, next day etc.

Chicken entrails.

ask the soothsayer. It's as good as anything else. The fiction forecasts rarely come true.

I agree with Lao shi although vegetarians could try shredded tofu

There was one memorable forecast in the winter which suggested a 15 to 40 knot change at 0900: it occurred at 0905 and resulted in mayhem at Navarra for a while followed by some awseome high wind sailing. Other than that one forecast they are rarely accurate.

I wouldn't trust any forecast more than 24 hours out, and I look at all of them

BOM local waters for forecast, Seabreeze for current wind conditions.
