Windguru

I have registered with Windguru long way back and I keep it going - it has free and paid registered versions.

It gives one of the best weather predictions of all ... we even use it for putting ships together - you can imagine the forces involved if we muck that up - and you can literally have any location shown as a table ..

Recently - they added a button top right to show TIDES at the location selected .....

Magic ... and all free !

I've had a look at it and book-marked it (and I will be looking at it again).

You say " It gives one of the best weather predictions of all " Including rainfall?

I use Ventusky which I find good

Its very good and yes rain is included as you see ...

I use it not only for work - but also to decide if its worth me driving to model flying site - even to what sort of model is suitable that day ..
 
The tide's bit certainly is a handy addition, but be aware that some of the geographical 'spots' are on land. Not appreciating the implications of which might lead a complete idiot to think the the tide function doesn't work. Pointed out by a friend, obviously.

Windguru is actually created for Surfing fraternity and targets coastlines ... its why its tabulated way it is. But of course inland spots have been added by users who feed info to the servers.

There will also be occasions when tidal data does not agree with other sources - due to the foundation used to determine ... bit like the days of WXTide vs Admiralty predictions.
