Most Commercial weather sites like Magic Seaweed, StormSurf etc. get their base data from NOAA weather data then manipulate it and present it in a variety of ways.

I've found the best data (after you learn to read it) comes directly from NOAA thru Weather.gov and especially thru the MapClick program. It basically gives you a forecast for the actual point you click on on the map.

Here's a link that is centered on HMB.  Use the map on the lower right to click on other spots, also a little farther down on the right you can get all the parameters on hourly graphs.

http://marine.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=37.487935401689846&lon=-122.4755859375&site=mtr&smap=1&unit=0&lg=en&FcstType=marine#.VhQPNvlViko

Just forecasts, not insurance but the data is as good as it gets.
