Love it

This is one of the better and comprehensive weather sites!!

Windfinder

I’ve been using Windfinder for 10 years and it’s been great until this year you can’t even get an accurate reading one day before you go fishing

Accuracy is 50/50 at best

Just what the title says. It’s almost useless. It’s either right or totally wrong. That doesn’t help at all when you have to plan travel on the water.

Garbage

This app is absolute garbage. It says it’s gonna be no waves. The waves are so big that I literally can barely even ride my full-size jet ski in it just go look at the water. Don’t trust this terrible app.

Not accurate

Often find the wind speeds not accurate at all.
