i am a keen Seabreeze, Elders,BOM user and usually take 2 out of 3.
Have you checked out this one?

http://www.willyweather.com.au/

Has local tides as well.
Will be looking closely at accuracy.
Looks good so far.

Pretty sure willyweather is the successor to tide-times.com.au. I was using the site the other day, the wind report said no more than 8 knots... sweet thought I... Head out for a fish and it's blowing 15-20 knots... Get home, check bom/seareeze and sure enough, 15-20 knots was right.

Works well enough for tides though...

Whenever I'm going out I always check these sites:
weatherzone.com.au
seabreeze
bom
buoyweather.com &
coastal watch.com
your pretty right if you take the best 3 out of these, well I have been anyway (touch wood) ;)

Willy weather, Not accurate at all, out of all the weather sites i go to, 5 of them, it was always the lowest wind reading, Dangerous site i would say, BOM was quoting 20-25, willy weather was under 10knots all day and lower, Scary for some people,Co l>:(

Have been looking at willy for a couple of weeks now,tide times are good but winds way off for mackay area.There highest wind for the week 10 knots every other site i look at and i usually check about 3 sites and ring rocky weather as well as i have to be sure for doing charters and the rest all say 20 to 25 and a couple of days as high as 25 to 30 so would definately not rely on them for Nth Qld weather

I'm with ColJacDak, willy reads 5-10knots when it was blowing 30knots here in Cairns, I'll use it as a tide guide and that's about all.
