Looks like some wind on Sunday, no forecasts are agreeing on when or the direction yet. Fingers crossed.

Both BWD models show westerly! Looking good and not too cold overnight!

I'm not a fan of the high tide, chop and gusty wind ... but beggars can't be choosers

I’ve never understood which line / model is relevant when I look at these graphs.

Rule of thumb: when it's intense colours, show up (ie. Come On Out!!!) :D

There are 8 lines with different information….. which model am I supposed to use? I don’t know what the abbreviations stand for, so, thanks Tony but that doesn’t clarify.

Drummermom the first one micro term HRRR looks the least distance into the future and based on that might be the most accurate but of course it is just forecast :roll: and I’m sure you know they don’t always come true.

The micro forecast is always optimistic, I never trust it.
