I think I have seen it before and you had to pay for tokens or something which you then used to get the weather. Furthermore I am sure I saw it via the forums early in the season.
Or am I suffering from age related confusion.

Thanks will try this. Been monitoring Windguru for last two weeks, after recommendation on the forum but Sandown (IOW) appears to be 10 to 15kts short of what I have experienced in the Solent. Will keep comparing though as presentation of Windguru is good. Synoptics page on Maalla ( which appear to be from the met office) has been the most reliable so far.

Re: TK turf accountant & ...
hmmm ... channel lightship at 49-54N & 2-54W (near enough?)
Midnight S 22kn wind, 1025mb 15 & 12 air & sea temp was forecast
actual SSE 14kn wind, 1027mb 14.4 & 14.9 air & sea temp
0600 S 25kn wind, 1022mb 14 & 12 air & sea temp was forecast
actual SE 22.9kn wind, 1023.9mb 13.5 & 14.9 air & sea temp
5 out of 10 or lost my shirt on that one especially if trying to swim the channel ...... in fact the forecast is about an hour early ie the midnight forecast would be slightly more accurate at 0100z

Weather this weekend
I've been anxiously watching the long range forecasts for this weekend, ready for the delivery trip home of my new boat. The forecasts range from F4 easterly to F7 southerly - a bit of a difference!
So do I take my 13-year-old son or not?

Re: Weather this weekend
Probably depends in which direction you are going and how seasick-proof your son is. Good luck whatever!

Re: Weather this weekend
80 miles west from Brighton to Poole. So it could be a really good sail! Or not...

forecast predictions don't get much better ....
i wonder what we're being "sold" here? the forecasts look to be copied off either the met office or sembach (US) synoptic charts. the rest appears to be guesswork. the temperature forecasts, particularly water temperature, look to be numbers stuck in to make it look good or a complete/professional package .... ?

Excuse my ignorance yet again - where do you find the information from the channel buoys?
(And can I have a KitKat while you're there?!)

Re: somebody\'s eaten them ....
Thanks for the info - looks really useful.
I'll pass on the FB's thanks. TwisterKen might like them, though.
