There are some Copycats in this world....but there is not any other version that you will come to love as much as you love REEFCAST.
What is ReefCast....
ReefCast is an Offshore Forecasting system. It forecasts Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Wave Height and Wave Period for any 3 mile x 3 mile area that we cover.
You click on the map and we produce a 2 graphs. I will let Amanda do the "How To" on this but the top one is Wind Speed and Wind Direction, The Bottom one is Wave Height and Wave Period.
There is more.....
It also comes in 3 flavors....
ReefCast...Outlined Above...
ReefCast with Extra Wave Data...You know those days when you have multible waves from multible direction....we track this and call this here...
ReefCast ensomble...This shows an overview of the last 5 model runs. When the model agrees with itself (The lines are tight and on top of each other) it is VERY accurate. When the lines are spaced out....take it with a grain of salt.
Oh.....One last thing....
In Jan 08, ReefCast was called "The Best Offshore Forecasting tool in Decades" at a NWS conferance by one of the forecastors presenting.
I have been fishing the Offshore waters for a LONG time. This thing ROCKS! Once you get used to using it...
The only problem is the GOV changes things up on me from time to time and breaks it. My North Carolina guys are like a bunch of Crackheads if they can not have their ReefCast. It broke not too long ago...and I got HATE MAIL...I laughed my ass off. Hatemail! Too funnny!
Enough with the BS...
