The
links above should all give you current forecasts, I think the best simple
current forecasts are Wind
Finder and Wind Guru. In both
cases it is a couple of clicks before you get your forecast, but they give
a week of wind, waves and cloud. Wind Finder has more stations in the
Caribbean. When the link page opens click on the map where you want the
forecast for and you will get a simple wind prediction. Then click on
"forecast" (upper right) and the full thing will come up.
Magic Seaweed, is a similar site, but for those that have a pictorial
mind, their predictions really come to life in graphics which shows you
just how and when the winds and swells will flow.
Wunderground also
gives a quick synopsis and knowing how hard it is going to
blow for how long. Click on the Caribbean and you will get a nice wind
map. scroll down and click on The Caribbean
Weather Center offers a quick and very brief synopsis - click on
Marine from the homepage. Caribbean
Weather Page is another quick fix. Other forecasts you may find of
interest include; Intellicast
offering longer range forecasts than many. The Weather
channel will give you forecasts for each island. I like the The Boat
US hurricane page, whose hurricane wind graphics are superb and they
also they keep excellent historical data. The
US Navy weather
information is probably or those with time to spend playing. It is really
cool - especially animation.
The OSU ocean winds page
allows you to click on any area in the world to see what average winds are
like. Good for planning, but it would be even better if they also overlaid
hurricane paths for the same period

Tidal
Information
We
have two active volcanos at this time in the Eastern Caribbean that are
important to navigators. Montserrat's
Soufriere Hills has been active for a long time now, and if it especially
active, you need to keep well clear of the south part of the island.
Kick
'em Jenny is an
underwater volcano between Grenada and Carriacou, west of Isle de Ronde.
You need to pay particular attention to this volcano when the alert goes
above yellow. We also have plenty of other islands where volcanos may
well reupt at some time. |
