The Incredible Hull Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hey Bas, I haven't been out recently, but in the past I've found it more reliable than willyweather... It's only accurate 1 day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Seabreeze is my go to site... I have noticed it's been a little out recently, but this is the weather we're talking about. BOM has also been out. My work relys heavily on what the wind and rain is doing, and my pastime does also, so I'm looking at it constantly, and BOM altered its forecast 3 times with in 24 hours for one day. Again, this is the weather we're talking about. Harry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolongeramember Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm the odd one here by the look of it. Just my opinion of course, but I actually prefer Willyweather over Seabreeze or BOM. I often compare what the forecast was for the day to what actually happened on their recorded wind speeds and find Willyweather generally most accurate. Other features I like about Willyweather over the others is you can get your forecasts on specific locations such as North Head for example. Also their predictions are updated more frequently which is important. Sometimes every 1.5 - 2 hours but it varies. Forget making concrete plans 5 days in advance by relying on the forecast of any of these. You will get the general idea but it usually always changes by the time the day comes around.

locodave Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I use all of them everytime and from what i have gathered they have all been out for the last year or so. Before you could rely on all of them. If you look at seabreeze on Monday and think great saturday looks awesome, i suggest you wait until friday or early saturday to decided. They just keep changing so often. I find willy weather a bit more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They are all pretty useless! Yesterday up here was supposed to be 40km wind and thunder storms, so I didn't go fishing! The actual weather for the day was light wind, great temp and beautiful evening and no rain! Today it's raining but I wasted my opportunity yesterday based on the forecast! Cheers scratchie!!!

Basil D Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I went out Thursday. Seabreeze showing 16 knots etc. Checked willy weather. Boy weather and wind finder all saying moderate breeze. Turned out to be a great day but I have noticed see breeze has not been reliable for the past year.

At my work there's a wind speed indicator, and it was doing 40kph pretty much all day, and over 50kph at some stages. We also got rain. That was at camperdown . Harry If it's to good to be true, it usually is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolongeramember Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I check willyweather the night before leaving in the morning and its pretty much correct for the whole day every time. The further away the prediction, the less accurate it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
