Windfinder.com does short-term forecasts of wind and wave directions. Hint, waves coming from the north are exciting on the North shore.

That's all Geek...er, I mean Greek to me. But I know two other Ayers who'll love those sites.

I've been looking for something that could predict wave directions so I could figure out which beaches were getting washed out. Arcane... sure.

Arcane and obscure are good things. I'm fashioning my aluminum foil helmet as I type. I "get" that link.

Gert has a great site
http://www.stormcarib.com Does't give daily weather but I find just looking at it gives you a better idea of what to expect than the forecast icons elsewhere...
