Station Forecast Tables Follow
When viewing a station's detailed wind graph, you can access hourly numerical model forecasts for that site by selecting the Forecast tab.
Also highlighted here are the forecast models you can view. For more information on the various models, head here: Forecast Model Options.
Further to the right, you can select whether you wish to view the basic wind, temperature, and sky condition forecast (basic) or add other variables, including wave height, precipitation, pressure, and cloud cover percentage (detailed). You can also choose whether to view a daily forecast or a 7-day extended forecast.
