... to get accurate marine weather info? I've found a couple of sites, but just wondering what everyone else uses. I'm being told the seas are gonna be crap tmrw and have yet to found any site that basically says "crappy seas."
 
My favorite: Local Weather, Tides, and Marine Forecast for Southeast Florida

Change the zip code to match yours, then use the drop-down box upper right to choose your area for the marine forecast. Assuming you want to dive Broward or Miami Dade tomorrow, sucks to be you:ELD BEACH

You won't. You have to know what is crappy and what isn't.

This is crappy.
 
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING

I prefer waves to be less than 2'.
I can dive in 4' waves, but I will get seasick on the surface interval.

Wind out of the East over 10 mph is BAD.
Wind out of the West under 5 mph is good.
Wind over 20 mph is crappy!

Let's face it, you can get OUT OF the boat and dive in anything.

It's getting back INTO the boat that's harder when the seas are kicked up.
