Best weather resource

I obviously don't know the best place to check weather/sea state conditions.
I got up early this morning, got to the launch and noticed no one had been out yet, no tire tracks on the beach, all kinds of parking at 5:30am. The water was rough but I thought I could make it out, I actually could of but I was soaked before I even made a serious try, and I thought coming back in might really suck. So i bagged. What do tou all use?
Thanks in advance

Check the BWE homepage... on the left, there is a quick reference to wind, weather, swell... etc..

I also use this wind source

If it is above 8 mph in any direction, I go back to sleep... I can deal with almost anything in LJ, except wind!!

The link above to the glider port is sweet.

wunderground.com - excellent wind predictor

wetsand.com - wetsand is ventura based, so the wind predictions need to be toned down just a touch. The swell predicitons are pretty much spot on.

I usually check the bouy's located just off the coast...They are actually in the water and can give you just about anything related to weather and even some water temps...
