So your sitting at home maybe checking the NOAA reports wondering how the conditions are out there for real but really can't trust NOAA to be very accurate on wind speeds or wave heights, I've been using this sitehttp://www.mysound.uconn.edu/index.html With greater accuracy. Info is updated every 15 min. Just click the Buoy in your area. Thought I'd pass this along if you haven't found it yet.

I get the same stuff [url="http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=ldlc3"]here[/url], also showing the past 24 hours in 15-minute increments. (If you wonder what the real wind speeds were when you were out there, here they are.) You can pick a different station or buoy off the map. Some have wave height, others not. The station I check, New London Light, doesn't go up and down with the waves, so it doesn't know.

Funny how NOAA's left hand doesn't know what NOAA's right hand is doing......
Gov't - thank the gods they are generally incompetent.

Some folks also use iWindsurf dot com. I have it on my favs.
It seems to repeat the NOAA measurements, but since it's GUI-based, you can just point and click on your favorite locations.

I've adjusted my view for LI Sound, but you can pan and zoom around.
http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=104&regionProductID=1&timeoffset=0

They offer free wind observations from limited locations as well as a paid membership for reports from some of the <i>gnarlier</i> windsurfing spots.
