Underground Weather has a Marine Forecast you can click on. I even used it in Canada using the airport designator. I find it the easiest to understand of all the forecasts and they give hourly wind forecasts. I also used it coming down the coast from Washington to California the middle of August. I had located the zip code for each port we were going to visit aahead of time (we were in port every night) and it was easy to pull up the forecast.

It costs $30 per year but the Weather Channel has the "Desktop Weather Platinum" that gives you the same data as weather.com but it has no ads or pictures and downloads fast, even over a slow cell phone. The radar images are slow, but usable via cell phone. I like the hour by hour forecast of wind speed and direction. It was very helpful on the Loop last year. Maybe it gave me a false sense of security, but it was nice thinking I knew what the wind was supposed to be like each day. I coninue to subscribe to it and would do so again for the loop. No connection.
