stevefish Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) What are the steps you take in knowing what the weather will do on your next fishing trip? Me, I'm a BOM man, I keep in contact with the 4 day synoptic chart most of the time, all year round, leading up to a trip I look at the forecast wind page to give me hour by hour (more or less) prediction for where I'm going. This is a winner because say, the coast, harbour and middle harbour can get the wind differently. And often a look at "latest coastal observations" to see what's happening as I'm leaving bright and early. Plus keep my eyes open each day, yesterday I saw a plane leaving long contrails, upper atmospheric instability! What do you look at?

will_l Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I normally use willy weather but that has been starting to let me down on harbour wind. I was wondering what the best forcaster is for wind in the harbour. BOM's Sydney forcast doesn't seem to show much about winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfisherman Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Seabreeze is my go to site. Has everything thing I need. Rain isn't an issue. Step 1-see which direction wind is coming from, that determines which location I'll be fishing. Step 2-check tide, this somewhat determines what time I'll be going. And off we go.

piratesgold Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I use willy, weatherzone and oz weather, and recon on the common forecast from them all as they are all different. recently I found this bewdy site, updated every 3 hours, click on a spot and get local conditions, zoom out for the whole world http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=149.46,-35.83,3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss_Gizmo Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I use Willyweather and combine it with local knowledge where I can. It sometimes can be out, but generally I find its accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I use the BOM report which is quite good but sometimes do not get the weather changes right, especially the wind speed. I also use windguru which is O/K as a cross check. The main thing is to prepare for anything and use the BOM only as a guide . Tide4fishing - Sydney is a good site for general fishing/weather information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
