Good site for wind information

[Bruce Moore]

Where there is water and wind, there are windsurfers. They're usually looking for a good strong blow, while most of us aren't. But the wind information on their site serves us all well. They cover most regions of the country with near real-time info.

Here's the overview for the Puget Sound. It includes reporting stations for Point Wilson, Point No Point, West Point, Alki Point, Bremerton, Point Robinson, Tacoma, and more.

The charts include wind speed, gusts, direction, average mph, temp, and pressure. Punch in your city or zip code for local info.

I use the Washington State Ferry site - you get to watch the winds that the ferry measures as it travels. Now if they would only add wave height, I'd be even happier!

Thanks. That is another great reference for our local waters. I'm with you on the wave heights.

Cheers.

Thanks!
We will add this to our favorites. We also use the washington state ferry site, but this also provides wind speeds in areas that site does not. Appreciate you passing along the info.
