current conditions and forcast

http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/marine/weatherConditions-currentConditions_e.html?mapID=11&siteID=07507&stationID=45132

I find both very helpful and reliable for same day/next morning, wind forcast maybe a day more. Good luck.

I also live away from both lakes and have found it frustrating to say the least at showing up to the ramp and seeing 4 foot waves. I have found www.ndbc.noaa.gov/ to be very helpfull. You can select a bouy close to the area you wish to fish and read all the data including the history of wave heights to determine if waves are building or lessning etc.
I hope this helps.

i fish lake erie out of bruce i always use the weatheroffice that pikefishinfever showed if u google lake erie ontario marine forecast u get the same.it has past 24 hour wave and wind info plus current.i would take alot of this information with a grain of salt. bottom line i check this sit plus the weather channel on tv plus number one i go onto my boat in garage press wx weather channel go to 3 it gives me the wave height at that exact time then i decide shoud i stay or go also when they say wave is .2 its 2foot in your boat if its .5 half meter its 5ft in your boat been their done that

Have any of you folks tried ( WINDGURU )?
I have found it to be good for short & long term winds reports.
