Weather forecasts for Bay of Naples - best source?

[kcrane]

I'm off to the Bay of Naples on Saturday for a week's boating (well, OK, I admit it, I will be sailing).

Anyone have any advice on sources of weather forecasts?

try windfinder, I have found their med forecasts pretty good

You might find convenient to listen at VHF channel 68.
Forecasts are constantly broadcasted in IT and EN, with updates at 00/06/12/18 UTC.
For bay of Naples, the relevant area is the central tyrrenian sea, east sector.

one more vote for windfinder,
I have the pro app on my I phone,
and found the "super forecast " page very accurate,
it uses data from different sources in the area
you just must make sure that you use data from a place very close to where you are.
and put that in your favourites list,

I use this site http://www.lamma.rete.toscana.it/mare/modelli/vento-e-mare Its a bit tricky to navigate through but if you use the drop down menus you can get hourly forecasts for various areas for wind, precipitation and wave height

Thanks all, useful as always

May have a tiresome week of 26 degree days and chilled beers on the back of the boat.
