Best reference points for boating conditions

Is there some places that work better than others to get accurate weather/boating conditions for day Santa Cruz or half moon bay for examples when you look at a map I see several locations to chose from

Surfing websites seem to have a lot of useful info

But it can't hurt to compare several sources.

For Half Moon Bay, I use Windfinder.  They have been pretty accurate for me so far.  I just wish I could find something that could predict fog.

National Weather Service, Map Click function, pop open the link below and you can click anywhere on the map, you can also manipulate the map to go other places.  Once you pick your spot just click on it.  For any hourly forecast of that point look down aways on the right side of the page and click on the "Hourly Weather Graph", click on that, it can go out 6 days by the hour.

Other weather sites get their raw data from the National Weather Service/NOAA and then manipulate it with their programs to give it their look, and they may add some local knowledge to tweak it as well.

Never forget it's just a forecast and can be flat wrong,
