I am looking into Predictwind. They use 4 different computer models. They seem to agree for the first day or so, but after 3 days or so, they vary wildly, both in windspeed and direction.... any thoughts out there?
I'm a fan of Predict Wind, and have used it on and off for over a year. What you are seeing is model variability for a complex problem. When I see one or other of the models being quite different to the others I bear in mind that forecasting is an inexact science, and run some mental 'what ifs' for my planned anchorages if the oddball one turns out to be right. I don't mind the conflicting info, when it occurs, at all.
