As a fellow mariner, I wanted to spread the word about a few ways to watch the tides, wave height, wave period and the weather all from your phone or computer.  Check out a few of these sites to make sure your day out on the water is a safe one:

• WindFinder – A great resource for researching the forecast for wind speed, wave height, wave period, tides and weather.
• FishWeather – Another great resource for researching the forecast for wind speed, wave height, wave period, tides and weather.
• Tideschart – Provides data on tides, weather, water temperatures, moon phases and fishing activity. 

Stay safe and be sure to check the forecast before heading out.
