Accurate wind and wave forecast
Downsized to a smaller boat last year so need to be intune with the wind/wave forecasts. Generally fish around the Toledo water intake area within 5 miles or so of the shoreline. What is the best/ most accurate forecast service for that general area? Thanks in advance

I like the Port Clinton iWindsurf site.

I use IWindsurf for my wind forcast and the NOAA bouy 45005 for current conditions.They also have a bouy near Toledo Water Intake at limno.io website for curent conditions and it has a web cam.

Great info, many thanks !!
Re: Accurate wind and wave forecast
You might want to download the app 'Fishweather'. It shows wind speed averages, gusts and direction off several buoys/locations for free and many locations for a fee.

I use Windfinder. It seems to be fairly accurate.
Re: Accurate wind and wave forecast
I use the Windy app. It seems good during most of the summer with predictions 2-3 days in advance.
This doesn't give the waves but I have learned to equate the wind direction and strength with waves height in my areas of fishing.
