Best weather forcast for the Irish Sea this weekend?

[LittleShip]

Where can I get a reliable weather forcast for this weekend (Irish Sea) They all seem to be different or maybe it's that it's not what I want to hear /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I use accuweather and windguru for Dublin Bay and they seem pretty good.

The irish met office always seems to be out

You could try www.bbc.co.uk and look under the UK weather section, specifically 'coast and sea'.

I'm planning on heading north also, but like you hoping for an improving forecast - Sunday looks like it will get better.

Fingers crossed /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sunday seems to be the day for moving but I really wanted to hear that Saturday would be OK. Never mind

Sunday is pretty much guaranteed to be a light wind day as we are racing round the Kish lighthouse and the last time we tried that we were sailing with the kite barely filling and going backwards with the tide whilst attempting to round the lighthouse!

Last time a question was asked about weather I seem to remember theyr.net being mentioned. It looked comprehensive to me!

And another one is...

And another one is XCWeather - primarily aimed at paragliders, but useful and often quite accurate forecasts for 5 days ahead. You'll find a forecast you like the sound of eventually!

How good a weather forecast do you want ? I'll do a great one for a fee.

look at four or five put the results on a spreadsheet and take an average. We did that last week and although all the forecast differed greatly our own average was spot on.

try www.greatweather.co.uk and pick which ever site you need, should be enough on site, to keep you busy all weekend...

Follow links - sea area forecast - marine (bottom of page) - observations - Marine Buoy data - M2 buoy.
Theres probably a better way but this will do you nicely.
Also, forumite Kinderedspirit has excellent links.
