I know this would have been discussed before, but:

What are the most reliable forecasts for say Perth. I have checked BOM local waters and it is totally different to Seabreeze.

Edit: I love the live wind feeds and graphs on seabreeze to what has been / is happening - but what is the best source for the afternoon, next day etc.

Chicken entrails. ask the soothsayer. It's as good as anything else. The fiction forecasts rarely come true.

My worn out knees usually tell me when it is going to rain

I agree with Lao shi although vegetarians could try shredded tofu
There was one memorable forecast in the winter which suggested a 15 to 40 knot change at 0900: it occurred at 0905 and resulted in mayhem at Navarra for a while followed by some awseome high wind sailing. Other than that one forecast they are rarely accurate.

I wouldn't trust any forecast more than 24 hours out, and I look at all of them

BOM local waters for forecast, Seabreeze for current wind conditions.
