MetEye. Try 'Yr' too. It's Norwegian. We use it for fishing, and it's consistent.

LOL

How long is a piece of string?

How about appreciate what other forecasters are trying to do here... basically if you find a way to predict wind within 50% of actual reality, then you'll be rich overnight!

This is a Finland report on the cost of in-accurate wind predicting...

www.vttresearch.com/sites/default/files/pdf/technology/2013/T95.pdf

And yeah it costs a tonne!

I like seabreeze, just have to -5knots on SE, and +10knots on NE. Other then that Windytv.com is cool

Exactly ^^^^

Whatever you use, just get used to it and make adjustments where needed as there will always be little differences in your local area, wind directions, thermal summer winds or winter frontal winds.

For me, the info this site provides works for me.

Agree, plus your own knowledge of local variations and a look out the window... Recently had the experience of watching a pretty nasty storm cell moving in, packing up and suggesting a couple of non local fellow kiters do likewise to which they replied "nah, it's not forecast to storm..."

That's pretty well the formula to apply in Yeppoon hey mate, although I'd go as far to say -10knots on a SE & +15knots on a NE at times.
