Weather forecast sites

[Rivers & creeks]

Having just compared bbc.co.uk and http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ I'm looking for something else - these sites forecast exactly opposite wind directions for Thursday in Dover and a wind speed difference of 14 knots!

We're planning to set off Saturday morning on the first leg of our delivery trip from Emsworth to Kent. What do you think are the best 5 day weather web sites. When we get to the trip we will as always use the shipping forecast, but it would be helpful to see how the forecasts are shaping up. Are there any sites with synoptic charts?


Thanks in advance.

Another good "long" term forecast.

Gives Buoy data from around the Irish coast.

Is for aviation but if you moor near an airport (eg like I do in Dublin), then this allows you to see how the weather will pan out during the rest of the day.

Phew! Didn't mention this lot on the RYA Dazed Kipper Course......

One of the best I have accessed was the faxed forecast from Marinecall which does synoptic charts as well as a written forecast. But it is expensive and I can't find it on the internet. Does anyone know how to get this Marinecall chart over the internet?
