Check real time wind observations within the PredictWind App or Forecast website to see if the model is 'on track.' The best indicators are real weather stations on (or nearby) the water. Inland based stations will often be a poor indicator as a result of land effects.

Select an observation, look for trends in wind direction, speed and gust.
