weather question

[KevinsCruising]

When doing the NYC, GSC, Nassau Itinerary, what is a good place to get an idea of the weather on your first sea day? I was thinking maybe someplace in North or South Carolina ??????

When are you going? The weather at sea may not be the same as on land, you know.

Go to one of the many weather forecast sites and just type in a variety of coastal town selection along the way. You should be able to get a good idea of expected weather for the entire route, or as another said, the expected weather on shore for the route.

NOAA has marine forecast, for example, here's Wilmington, SC - http://www.weather.gov/ilm/marine

Up to 250 NM offshore - http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/zone/off/offnt2mz.htm

 

Oceanweather.com/data has graphical charts of wave conditions - arrows on the graph indicate the flow direction
