No need for a butt kicking. Based on info you had you made the right call for your charter as you had their best interest in mind rather than your own.

Walked the shore this morning 5 - 7 am light southwest 5 mph maybe. Started kicking 10-12 as I was packing it in. But still looked very flat out.

[Captain Rich]

The better reason for a butt kicking....why were you cutting bait in the kitchen ??? --LOL

If your going to plan your outdoor activities based on the NWS, you better find another hobby...............

NOAA Never On About Anything

the weather forecasts are awful. best bet, if i was a captain with charters, i would take a meteorology class at a county college or something and use the accuweather satelite, radar, etc. imaging to place my own forecasts on the specific areas i was looking to go that day.

WindGuru.com This seems to be pretty accurate whenever I've used it.

Has anyone found it does NOT work well?

NOAA has recently been caught "revising" temps from past years models downward in order to make it seem like the Earth is warming and fit the political view of the government. I mean really, they just decided to change reality.
