My old weather site, which I found to be excellent, with detailed projection and animations and used by all the professional yacht racing teams etc, is now a pay only site (http://theyr.net). Rather then pay 50 euro per year, I'm looking for an alternative - any suggestions?

AccuWeather.... I find it the most reliable

Hi

For wind and wave period, height etc., I use http://www.magicseaweed.com

For weather, Met Eireann and the BBC do a five day forecast.
The NOAA do a two week aviation forecast at six hour intervals - its a meteogram you you have to interpret it but it is fairly obvious and it has the benefit of indicating air pressure which I am paying more attention to... the link is in the website links page, PM me if you need the details.

I use metcheck myself all the time. I have found their 48 hour forecast to be quite good.

You could always take Billy Connolly's advice: " ... there's no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes ..."

My favorite quote. :D

Thanks for all the suggestions, and i've spent some time with them. I have decided on AccuWeather; not as good as my old site (or I was more used to it)- we'll see how it goes. Unfortunately, Acuuweather predicts for Dublin Bay force 5-7 from today and the rest of the weekend.....

For the sake of comfortable fishing, I prefer 2-3 or 3-4 if its a westerly...Not that I'm a complete namby-pamby but I'm supposed to be enjoying myself......
