My 2 Favorite Weather Sites:

https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/PUBLIC/

This is a complicated site that takes some getting used to. If you want a quickie don't go here. If you want complete weather info including wave heights and wind strengths and forecasts for the next week, this is where its at.

STEP 1: Click on "Westpac area". This will take you to a page that will allow you to click on "NGP".

STEP 2: Find the lowest box on the left marked "OVER OCEAN SURFACE WINDS". Click on "all times" or the # of hours from now that you want to see the prediction for. It predicts almost a week in advance!

This site is amazing. There are Aviation (AVN) weather maps, predicted rainfall maps. etc. I think it's one of the best sailing website there is as far as weather is concerned.

It's good for forecasting Philippine weather, but its greatest value must be for passage planning in the South East Asian Region.

It uses colors to show wind strengths over wide areas, and uses the standard wind arrows to give direction as well as a more detailed strength estimate.

It gives acurate forecasts of what wind conditions will be over periods of several days, and it even has a movie so you can watch the weather move accross your screen!

CNN's Manila weather site

This used to be my default site on my browser. It's a pretty good site that gets regular updates and is good for the person who doesn't think of windstrength as a top priority. Its got quick downloads of asian maps that show where the storms are.

Other sites of interest primarily to surfers, windsurfers and other sailors.

This site is arguably the best wind site, and it has listings for small areas like Lake Caliraya, Anilao, Boracay and Subic. It will be number one on this list when it lists Manila Bay, and Taal Lake.

This site is great for showing ocean swell, and it covers smaller areas than the FNMOC site listed as #1 on this page. This must be the best site for predicting surfing conditions in the Philippines.
