“Are there any weather buoys offshore (over 20 miles out) that can view live weather conditions at that location? I am a fisherman and have been searching on line for a website that displays sea conditions offshore. (Jone Inlet)I have loaded up the boat w/bait,gas and tackle and got skunked because of weather conditions 25-30 miles offshore. I do have a vhf and watch the weather channel all he time however seeing believing.Can you help me?
