I use a range,

for synoptics http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsfaxbra.html

for wind http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

the met office http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/marine/index.html

a bit of everything http://www.stronge.org.uk/charts.html

UK and Ireland http://www.accuweather.com/ukie/sailing-...Dover%20Straits

More detailed stuff (incl Irelend) http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=96593

I am sure there are many others - really none give everything and a general browse is usually needed.

I find this one very good, though designed for surfers, it has pretty much everything you need. The swell forecasts are particularly good - most people look at wind forecasts, and swell can be just as important.
