Went to check the near shore forecast on the NOAA site last week and noticed it and the off shore forecasts are no longer provided. Anyone know if this info is available from another place? I live a little ways to the south and it was always nice to be able to get a rough idea of what the conditions were going to be like a few days ahead of time.

Try this, NWS.

or this:

or this, real time data:

Thanks e&g. That 1st one was exactly what I was looking for. Had a link on my phone for it previously, but last week all it would say was service was no longer available. Thanks again.

I use this when I go to the beach (NC).  It has an app too.

My bad, doesn't look like it does wave height for Erie.  It does for the ocean.
