I am thinking of investing in a year membership of Bouyweather for the Darwin offshore conditions. Is it worth the hassle or should I stick too free ones. Any suggestions would be allright:o;D

Try Windfinder.com mate. Free seven days forecast with a lot more detail than Bouyweather. Its as reliable as Seabreeze and the BOM.

ask newby about it, he is a subscriber (or was). I seen a demo of it at 1770 and I dont think it was that great.

I have used it. For me, it is as good as it gets.

I combine Buoyweather with


Seabreeze, Windfinder and BoM.


Then check the chart ( maps ).

All theses are is different business's using same data and inputing that data into their own " weather models " to achieve results.

Easy to find out which is OK. Check historical data on the BoM site.

Buoyweather, IMO, is a worth a subscription.



Cheers Phill

I'm a subscriber to bouyweather and i like it. As per Lucky Phils comment, I use it in conjuntion with seabreeze and the BOM (forecast and synoptics) and between those do my best to make the most informed call on the day as i can.

I am with Phill on this one, Buoyweather is the go to site. Windfinder is a close second. Willyweather is the go to for tide times. These three combined determines what we do up here in Dampier.

Cheers, Ben

Have you tried willyweather? As per the other replies, I use it in conjunction with other sites to try and get an average weather prediction. Willy is also good for tides at particular locations.

I like wind finder and use the Wind maps. Been pretty accurate. As everyone else says, use a few different sites and make a decision from there.
Weatherzone is another one I sometimes have a squizz at.

What Phill does.

I've subscribed for a couple of years now, and it works well in combinations with other sources.

Cheers,
