NOAA vs. GURU

[shrimpman steve]

Huge difference in the forecasts for tomorrow. Guru says I can get the dirty shrimp out, NOAA says doom and gloom:eek:

I hope they come together one way or the other so I can make a plan

The difference is huge. How can that be.

I have to say, all summer windguru has been underforcasting. Did anyone think yesterday's north winds were 5-10??

[dfish28]

I would throw sailflow in the mix- there forecast has been pretty accurate this year ... From what it's saying, heavy breeze in the am falling off as the day goes on

These guys agree with NOAA at 2am and Guru for the rest of the day. I think the problem with NOAA is they don't predict when the wind will drop out. It may be 15-20 at 2am, but 5-10 after 8am.

Don't know how big UR boat is but strong north if OG tide will be lumpy in AM , looks to lay down somewhat in PM
Swell will probably hang in unless NW comes on to knock it down .
Bring the bag drift maybe fast. !

I also check forecast with weather channel for Atlantic highland and long branch hourly weather gives you wind reports by the hour. I never ever ever use Noah for anything other than off shore. Combining weather.com and wind guru seems that winds should start to drop down starting around 10am ish. NNW too

Don't forget Windguru is in knots.

Option for mph.

I'm leaning towards going. Snotty morning hopefully nice afternoon. Maybe leave a little late. Get some sleep for a change. No reason to be there at six. I have an out of town guest from the board coming in and would love to out him on some fluke

Let me see what shapes up on my end. If I have room for 2 I will let you kniw

:DYou dah man. Let's keep in touch

Right now I'm gonna take a nap:D

So what do you think? Who had the best forecast? It layed down nicely where I was by 9.

[Joey Dah Fish]

Wind Guru finally got one right:eek:

[stugots]

Like Joey said, I use the weather channel hour by hour and wind guru. Will use Noaa for offshore forecast. Buoy Weather is also pretty darn accurate.

[shrimpman steve]

Wind guru was much more accurate. We had a beautiful day!
