I find that windguru is much more reliable than noaa site. type in windguru all one word then it will direct you to forecast then when the 4 boxes pop up go to the select spot 251 choices click on right lower box hit lake erie what ever is closest to you and then hit go and the lake erie wind forecast will pop up and it is very accurate it gives you wind in knots and gusts also wind direction. I use to hate going to noaa drive an hour and a half just to sit on the shore and watch.

Good luck this year fellas
