Check out magic seaweed, it's a surfing site so always relevant to sea anglers.

Can't remember the url offhand, try a google for it.

sea forecast

Hi, Yes!!!!
goner be a little breezy on sat,
As mentioned http://www.magicseaweed.com is very good , its very acurate for up to 2 days, and 60-70% accurate 3-6 days ahead.
It shows the swell also, and that is important on the west coast, may be no wind , but a 20 foot swell rolling in!
The sea area forecast given by met eireann is ok, but its a generalization for the sea area out to 200 miles, the seaweed tends to show what its going to do closer inshore.
Surfers are better informed than the fishermen!!
